The great outdoors
Our cattle are happy, relaxed cattle. They
spend the majority of their lives roaming
freely and naturally in lush, green
pastures.
Quality supervision
We employ stockmen and women who
supervise the cattle every day. They are
trained in animal welfare, husbandry and
handling along with the ability to quickly
identify sick or stressed animals. We use a
qualified veterinarian to oversee the
health and wellbeing of all of our cattle,
so they can receive treatment as soon as
possible.
Keep their cool
Rangers Valley is situated in a cool climate
region, perfect for raising cattle. But we’re
also in a country where heat waves can
occur. During such weather events,
increased water and adjusted
rations are provided to assist the cattle to
cope with any rising temperatures.

We don’t cramp their style
Our feedlot yards are a minimum size of
3000m2. This allows our cattle more than
enough room to exhibit their natural
behaviour and have space for movement
and interaction.
Their very own nutritionists
Our specialist nutritionists work hard to
ensure our cattle receive the perfect
balance of energy, protein, fibre, minerals
and vitamins. Our cattle progress from
eating grass and are introduced to this
new regime in stages, allowing for a
natural, comfortable growth rate.
Cleanliness is next to…
Let’s face it, animals can be messy. We
make sure our lots are kept clean and tidy
at all times. And we like to recycle, so
manure is removed from the yards and
provided to local farms as valuable soil
conditioners.

Transport
Cattle can become stressed when they’re
transported. So we take steps to minimise
their stress by ensuring their time in
lairage is as short as possible and make
sure they’re surrounded by familiar animals.
