Maximising Livestock Productivity

Lorraine’s Composite Herding Approach

Lorraine runs a quality herd of approx. 26,000 head of a tropically adapted composite mix including:

  • Brahman

  • Belmont Red

  • Senapole

  • Angus

This composite is brings together the most important traits from several breeds which allows us to select animals that are highly fertile, heat and humidity tolerant, parasite tolerant, able to function consuming pasture with limited nutritional value and abundance during our annual dry season and extended droughts.

Our target market for males is southern feedlots for domestic and export beef and for our females we aim to sell the majority as culls for slaughter.

Our Values

Animal Welfare at the Core of Lorraine’s Livestock Management

At Lorraine, the well-being of our cattle sits at the heart of every decision we make, especially when it comes to animal husbandry and transportation options.

Ensuring a high standard of animal welfare is not merely a practice, but a responsibility that we wholeheartedly embrace. It’s an ethos that transcends through every layer of our operations, from the senior management down to our dedicated staff members on the ground.

In the realm of animal husbandry, our methods are meticulously crafted to provide a healthy, stress-free environment for our livestock. Our comprehensive care protocols encompass proper nutrition, regular health checks, and a nurturing environment, ensuring that our cattle not only survive but thrive under our care.

Long-term Sustainability

Embracing Land as Our Natural Capital

Our land and pasture are our natural capital and must be nurtured to give us the balance required when running a successful and sustainable business. Caring for the natural resources through variable seasons determines long-term sustainability and is paramount when making grazing load decisions.
