Our Story

Breeding better beef, naturally.

1,000 breeders | Regenerative | Premium Beef Genetics | Northern Rivers, NSW

Sustainably bred cattle raised on regenerative pastures in the Northern Rivers.
At McCaughey Pastoral, we believe great beef begins in the paddock. Based in the Northern Rivers region of NSW, our 1000-breeder operation is built on regenerative farming principles that prioritise soil health, biodiversity, and animal wellbeing.

When the land thrives, everything else follows.

Healthy soils. Better beef.

Through regenerative practices such as no-till agriculture, cover cropping, rotational grazing, and integrating livestock with the landscape, we’re building stronger soils, capturing carbon, and producing cattle that are resilient, healthy, and better for the planet.
Every decision is driven by care – from low-stress handling and responsible grazing to data-driven selection for consistent results. We’re not just producing beef for today – we’re nurturing practices that sustain generations to come.

Our Breeding.

We bring together the world’s most respected beef breeds
to deliver versatility, balance and superior eating quality.

Angus

Angus x Simmental

Renowned for natural marbling, calm temperament, and rich flavour that defines premium Australian beef.

Brangus

Angus x Simmental

Resilient and heat-tolerant, with steady performance and even condition through all seasons.

Simmental

Valued for muscle, growth, and yield – producing heavier animals with excellent feed efficiency and carcase balance.
Together, they create cattle that perform strongly on pasture and consistently meet premium eating quality standards.

Charolais

Recognised for rapid growth, high carcase yield, and fine muscle structure that delivers a tender, juicy eating experience.
The result is beef that’s clean, flavoursome, and consistently high in quality – no matter where it’s served.
