History

We love the work we do and the business we are in. Over the past 35 years we have established our cattle enterprise and our Home in the Central Burnett, Queensland. See some of our Sales Highlights here.

Our Droughtmaster stud began with little more than a drive to breed good functional and profitable cattle. We both come from families with four generations of cattle breeding experience and were keen to get out on our own and make our own family's future in the cattle industry as well.

We started with only 500 acres and a few stud females in 1987. Our original plan was to breed quality if not quantity. A lot of A.I. in those days. We chose the Droughtmaster breed for the cattle’s ability to do well and meet a variety of markets. Our cattle have been good to us over the years.  Proving resilient and profitable through many and varied seasons.

We have purchased some of the best genetics in the breed, worked them under commercial conditions, maintained comprehensive performance records, and strictly culled less profitable animals.

We now own a number of properties, “Wajatryn” being our Our first and Home property.​ 

All properties purchased are top quality country in the Gayndah area, but with no more than boundary fences and limited water points when we bought them. Over the years we have extensively developed all properties to allow more efficient cattle management, increase production, and use the land more sustainably.

Our motto has been from the start... WAJATRYN BULLS, MORE BANG FOR YOUR BUCK $$$

We sold Wajatryn Bulls at the Rockhampton Droughtmaster National Bull Sale for many years.  We also sold Auction Sale Bulls by Invitation at the Highlands Droughtmaster Bull Sale and CQ Invitational Droughtmaster Sale.  We have topped Sales a number of times over the years and been in the top averages for Sales many times.  We are proud of the performance of our Cattle.  The Bulk of our Business has always been on property Droughtmaster bulls for sale.  Where clients and agents can come and walk through our cattle, see their preparation and suitability for their own business. 

The Future. We enjoy breeding quality cattle. We will continue to purchase quality genetics for ourselves and to provide buyers with as wide a range of genetics as possible. Our most recent purchases have been $30,000 Minlacowie Xian 9130 D4 (PP), $38,000 Redskin Harley, $55,000 Minlacowie Vinne and $20,000 Minlacowie Zenon. We will also continue to provide accurate performance information and premium service to producers buying Wajatryn bulls.
