Information for Prospective Suppliers

We manage a diverse inventory across our properties and enterprises of breeding, trading, and finishing. As a function of our holistic management system, we are constantly adjusting stocking rate to match carrying capacity. Hence, most times of the year we are on the lookout for cattle to purchase, or looking for outlets for the cattle we raise.

Breeding

While our core Angus breeding herd at Woodburn is largely self-replacing, from time to time we are sourcing breeding females. Our requirement specs are:

  • Low maintenance and moderate frame – ability to thrive unassisted in tough times
  • Fertile and functional – we want reproductive longevity
  • Grass finishing genetics – moderate cow size + high fertility should = high marbling

Trading

We turnover approximately 3000 – 5000 trade cattle per annum. These cattle are generally purchased as restockers and taken through to feeder weights. Our requirement specs (usually) are:

  • Preferably Angus or Angus Cross steers or heifers
  • 270 – 330kg milk teeth only

We will always consider cattle outside these specs.

Prospective Purchasers of WCC Cattle

We have worked hard to develop long-term supply relationships to major feedlots and processors across northern NSW and southern QLD. We aim to hit the required spec of our buyers 100% of the time. While these specs always vary, what we can assure prospective purchasers is that:

  • Our cattle will be well handled and educated and in a good frame of mind.
  • They will be acclimated and socialised to each other having been run in large mobs under our tenure.
  • We can often supply consistently and in large volumes.
  • We will aim to source genetics that will lay down fat and marble score 2 or better.
