OUR FARM PRACTICES

Our predominantly Black Angus cattle are bred and raised at the Home Farm on pastures near to the twin towns of Dongara Port Denison on Australia’s Coral Coast. Grazed on a mixture of annual and perennial grasses in large paddocks supplied with fresh clean underground water, they are grass-fed for their entire lives and meet the Australian PCAS standards for grass-fed cattle classification. No artificial hormones are used for growth promotion and no antibiotics are used.

The Home Farm layout has been designed to focus on stress-free stock handling and the wagon-wheel layout of the paddocks enables easy rotation of cattle onto fresh grass and close access to fresh clean water at all times with a minimum of handling. Stockyards are purpose-built to ensure minimal stress and efficient operation during handling required for health checks and monitoring. Grass varieties include Seradella (which fixes Nitrogen in the soil), Rye, Gaton Panic and Rhodes.

These grazing systems also store or sequester carbon by increasing the amount of organic matter retained in the soil by increasing the biomass and limiting soil disturbance. Complimentary to our sustainable grazing system, herd management and low-stress handling, we have selected our key downstream providers with the objective of achieving the lowest stress and lowest food miles possible in delivering our quality grass-fed beef to you.
