The Hawkins family of HC Pastoral Company (Malakoff Downs, Hughenden and Herbertvale Station, Camooweal), have been breeding Droughtmasters for 40+ years, producing cattle for every possible market specification. Their cattle continuously hit the high end and have many times received record prices within those markets, with all classes of females and steers. These results, according to renowned beef producer Charlie Hawkins, are achieved because of their purebred Droughtmaster herd. "We also have great success with cross-bred progeny using Droughtmaster bulls - however I still believe you can't put a price on a straight bred herd". And what of the future of Droughtmaster? "The ability to meet multi-market demands and the consistent performance of Droughtmaster will ensure a long-term future for the breed" he says.

Just visited clint and shelly. Best cattle we saw from emerald to the NT and back.
That’s a great photo, “a wide brown land for me”
What is the meat like on Droughtmasters , obviously it varies with conditions, is it tender, is it a good flavour, What is the preffered age of a steer for consumption?
