ABOUT US
Borne out of a keen interest in the global beef industry, a passion for the Brangus breed and a devotion for regenerative farming, David McKean & Marty Lill leverage decades of skills and interests and aim to breed the very best Brangus cattle we know how.
Rising up from alluvial river flats to sweeping sandstone ridges east of Coonabarabran, in north west NSW, Viamonte Brangus are raised on native pastures and developed to thrive on genuine Australian conditions.
THRIVE ON CHANGE
GENETICS PROGRESS
Viamonte is a herd founded upon the very best Australian Brangus genetics sourced from acclaimed Australian herds including Redline, Duff, Greendale, Chadwick Downs & Duarran and international Brangus genetics including Lazy3 & IndianHills.
GENUINE BREEDING VALUES
The breeding values of the Viamonte herd are directly related to production efficiencies.
Productivity though fertility. Heifers calving in their second year and each year after that.
Efficiency though constitution or grass-fed & genuine doing-ability under real-world conditions
Performance, measured in kilograms per hectare, per breeding female. Bigger cows can be efficient when they wean heaver calves
STEADFAST VISION
Our Focus is to identify and breed world-class livestock through the use of genomics, objective measurements and strict selection of the ideal type, under genuine Australian conditions.
Our Goal is to achieve this while regenerating the landscape, rehydrating the soil and re-establishing vegetation as pastures.
"Despite all our achievements, we owe our survival to the top 6 inches of soil"
