The opportunity
Why this business works now
A breeding herd produces saleable calves while retaining selected heifers to grow the farm’s productive asset base. Buyers include feedlots, auctions, abattoirs and other farmers looking for breeding animals. The plan connects herd growth, grazing capacity, animal health and planned sales over five years.
Herd growth
Selected heifers can be retained to expand the breeding herd over time.
Established buyers
Weaners and finished animals can be sold through auctions, feedlots and abattoirs.
Two value streams
The model includes commercial cattle sales and selected breeding stock.
