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.
Advancing the Breed
Resilient. Fertile. Productive. Droughtmaster was first bred in the 1940’s for Australia’s unique conditions. Today, cattle producers in Asia and Africa are seeing this versatile breed for the natural wonder it is. At Droughtmaster Australia, we’re passionate about advancing Droughtmaster genetics and improving herds to deliver maximum value to producers and supply chain stakeholders. Our zone representatives work hard all over Australia to grow the knowledge of our 600 plus Society members. Our Society also takes part in major research projects including the Repronomics Program, run by the University of New England, and our very own Beef Information Nucleus Program.

In the heartland of the Maranoa region there is a 5th generation farming family passionate about getting top-quality home-grown beef to the tables of families in South East Queensland. Bec & Craig Beissel, and their children Beau & Maggie, of Maranoa Beef, deliver their produce weekly to Brisbane and the Gold and Sunshine Coasts and surrounds, as well as their own district. They promise grass-fed meat, free from chemicals and hormones, sourced on their own property and locally approved suppliers. Like the Droughtmaster cattle they farm, theirs is a story of adaptability, resilience and true grit. Their story is our story. 🇦🇺 Maranoa Beef #celebratingAustralia

What makes a great steak? It all starts in the paddock. Think easy care cattle. Efficient feeders, highly adaptable to their natural environment, requiring zero or minimal grain feeding. A calm temperament to enhance optimum flavour and tenderness. Think Droughtmaster. Australia’s natural wonder. #australianbeef #droughtmaster

Who smells a challenge Team Droughtmaster? 💪🏻Despite Coach Jason Child’s words of encouragement, (Pictured) the might and power of ‘Team Droughtmaster’ fell a little short at the 2018 Battle of the Breeds Tug-of-War. (Rumour has it, Jason has had the team together for the last couple of months to whip them into shape).
Will ‘Team Brangus’ go back to back? Find out by securing your tickets for the ‘Off the Lead’ Cattle Exhibitors Meet and Greet, Sunday 2nd May.
