70 years of proven breeding excellence....
Koonandah Station is a highly focused grass fed, seed stock breeding operation run on family-based principles.
Our breeding and fattening operation is run with a prime focus on producing functional early maturing cattle with an emphasis on days to calving, temperament and the ability to do well in harsh conditions.
Our goal is to assist commercial producers to bring quality beef to the table of Australians and produce cattle that turn off the maximum kilograms of beef.
At Koonandah we focus on producing fertile cows that wean a calf every year, with a quiet temperament which are adaptable and well-muscled cattle whilst achieving early puberty bulls.
Careful selection of sires has always been a top priority in our breeding herd. Our 27 years of breedplan data has enabled us to evolve our sire selection tools.
Utilization of low stress stock handling procedures and management are used to breed bullocks and replacement stock.
The cattle are great grass converters due to the holistic management and planned grazing techniques that we run on Koonandah. Mating commences from 1st October for 120 days for our breeder cows, while our heifers and yearlings are mated for a 90-day period.
We believe in functional cattle that perform in the paddock year in and year out and that fertile bulls are essential to achieve a profitable herd.
By selectively breeding in desirable traits, Koonandah bulls have enabled us to achieve some outstanding results.
While placing emphasis on our grey polled cattle for the last 40 years, our quality Koonandah bulls have been spread throughout Queensland and the Northern Territory.
Koonandah’s dedication and our family passion, remains in breeding a good quality line of brahman cattle.
With over 70 years of proven breeding excellence as well as maternal performance, our tropically adapted and carefully selected traits guarantee that we provide bulls that ensure balanced future breeding, which in turn meets our client’s expectations.
