Eastern Plains Angus has a 120 + year family history of breeding & performance recording Angus cattle in NSW. The herd can trace its’ origins to the importation of Angus cattle from Scotland by the White Bros of Edinglassie, Muswellbrook, in 1888.

Eastern Plains Angus is located at “Eastern Plains”, 9212 Guyra Rd, Guyra, in northern NSW. The stud is run alongside a commercial herd across 3 properties, west of Guyra; the home block “Eastern Plains” where the stud herd is run, and properties “Merton” and “Beckmore” further west of Guyra in the Ben Lomond district, where commercial cattle are run.

Our breeding program at Eastern Plains aims to produce bulls with a balance of growth, fertility and meat quality traits rather than extremes in just the one trait or one set of traits. Females are selected for fertility, low maintenance and an ability to cope with a range of environmental conditions. Structural soundness is also a must and rigorously assessed in both bulls and females.

Eastern Plains Angus comprises a herd of approximately 160HBR & 50APR females, all performance recorded and registered with Angus Australia since its’ inception. The herd is entirely self-replacing. AI & ET reproduction technologies have been used in the stud for the last 25 years.

The performance of our stud genetics are routinely put to the test in our commercial herd where only our own stud bred yearling bulls are joined to a self-replacing commercial herd of approx. 700 females. The commercial operation is geared to produce feeder steers for the long-fed markets, most of which go to JBS Beef City or Caroona feedlots at 18mnths of age, weighing approx. 520kgs.
