Kerrigan Valley,Grain Fed Beef

Kerrigan Valley Beef is an accredited feedlot and operates under the NAFS (National Feedlot Accreditation Scheme) guidelines.

Kerrigan Valley Beef is a family owned and operated business in the Hyden area which is situated 360kms from Perth in the wheat belt of WA. The cattle are sourced from the Great Southern and Esperance regions of Western Australia and are back grounded on the family farm before entering the feedlot. The cattle are grain fed for 80-120 days with a ration that is cleaned, tempered, rolled and fed to the cattle daily.

All cattle are kept in a quiet environment and handled with the Low Stress Handling techniques. Kerrigan Beef prides itself on animal welfare and abides by high environmental standards. All cattle are NLIS (National Livestock Identification Scheme) ear tagged for lifetime traceability. The Hinck family (Trevor, Sharon, Craig, Kingsley and Jordan) prides themselves on having healthy and vibrant cattle.

Our farm produces and grows cereals consisting of wheat, barley, canola and peas.

Most of the barley and a portion of the wheat is stored on the farm. The grain operation is all QA accredited and audited to ensure the integrity of the grain. The barley is tempered, rolled and prepared for the daily ration to be fed to the cattle.

The grain is formulated by animal nutritionist - Rob Lawrence (IAP) based in Toowoomba QLD.

The grain is tested for protein and energy and cleaned before being milled for the ration to remove any impurities. So only the best grain is consumed by the cattle. This ensures optimum weight gain and feed conversion. Feed provided for the cattle in the paddock is generally stubble from the past seasons cereal crops and chaff dumps which are the result of the chaff being collected and dumped in heaps during the harvest operation.

Kerrigan feedlot provides a custom feeding service for producers who prefer to retain ownership of their cattle. This gives the owner the flexibility to be able to market their cattle as a grain fed product.

Customers can be assured that their cattle are fed and cared for under NFAS guidelines. We can also assure customers that animal performance will be in line or better than the industry average standard.

The waste product from the feedlot is removed from the pens and accumulated in long lines away from the feedlot for the composting process.

The composting process involves adding straw (for carbon) and water and turning and mixing the product in a purpose built machine over a three month period. Once we have achieved a fully composted product it is ready for spreading on our land.

Trials have indicated significant increases in soil structure and water holding ability and increased organic carbons resulting in higher crop yields even in drier years.
