At Oakridge, we have a core breeding herd of 12 cows and our bull (Quattro)
Our aim is to grow and supply up to 12 beef cows per year for sale to individuals or syndicates who want to know where their food comes from.
Our calves are all raised by their mothers for six months before being weaned onto pasture. Bull calves are castrated at four months.
It takes approximately two-three years to grow the animals to the desired live kill weight of between 350 – 450kg. Weight gain and fat gain can be affected by climate and the amount of green grass available. During longer hot seasons, the cattle do not eat as much and gain less. This can extend the amount of time to get your cow ready. We never supplement with any grains to speed up this process and instead rely only on nature.
Oakridge Beef is finished for one month on oats and rye.
As a potential customer we invite you to visit Oakridge, meet us, and see the animals for yourself. And taste our beef.
‘Oakridge Stud’ is a registered member of the Australian Lowline Assn. All our animals are DNA verified Australian Lowlines and are registered in the NAIT system of MPI and ALCA. All our animals are processed by Wholly Cow Farm, Micro Abattoir & Butchery.
