We have been associated with brahman cattle since the mid 1950’s. The benefits of brahman cattle were first realised by the late W Ron Bauer while working as a meat works buyer and cattle dealer. While travelling to “Waverley” to buy cattle, he saw Mr Bob Beak of “Wilangi” loading 700 bullocks onto 2 trains. Mr Beak referred to these cattle as ‘Brahmas’ and Ron Bauer thought these cattle were far better than any other breed he had seen. He was well qualified to make this call as he dealt in 17,500 cattle in that year from all areas of Queensland and all breeds popular at the time. Our herd was founded with bloodlines from Waverly, Glenprarie and Cherokee that were traceable back to the early importations.
Graham and Rosslyn Bauer carried on with these cattle and promoted them by showing brahman cattle all over the eastern states of Australia at a time when brahman cattle were not popular. Showing ceased after the death of W Ron Bauer in 1985 and we moved to western Qld in 1993. The Bauer family have continued the quest for breeding genuine brahman and brahman infused adaptable, productive and fertile cattle and continue their operation today.
