Australia’s Droughtmaster cattle are arguably best suited to thrive in a world that is changing before us, where versatility and sustainability are essential. Consumer demands are changing rapidly, supply chains want greater yield and there is an unmistakable push for improved animal welfare and for sustainable and natural protein. This iconic all-rounder is perfectly placed for our changing future affirming its reputation as Australia’s natural wonder. Droughtmaster cattle consistently perform to a high standard despite adverse environments, continually producing high quality and high yielding carcases economically.

Droughtmaster Board members gathered on Monday and Tuesday for a meeting at the View Hotel, Brisbane. It was great to have all Board members together in person and the first time we’ve had a Northern Territory representative. We welcome Western Zone Director, Olivia Wright, Steven Farmer (National Director) and Andy Hayes (Northern Territory representative).
Thanks to all for putting your hands up for a thankless role at times. All the best for the season ahead.
Another great highlight was speaking with Stompie Nic Olivier from Droughtmaster SA South Africa. Was great talking to you Stompie - we look forward to working with you.
Good job

National Agriculture and Related Industries Day was founded by Patron Mrs Gina Rinehart AO to celebrate the enormous contribution and vital importance of our agricultural and related industries.
Our nation-building industries of agriculture and mining are essential to our lives. They provide not only the food and raw materials we need to enable our lives, but the jobs, wages, export revenue and national wealth that underpins our world-coveted living standards. Australia has long been known for our primary industries, the world-class produce from our farmers and the natural resources that build and fuel people around the world. Hancock Agriculture
