TVF Pastoral Company
Established in 1973
TVF started with the purchase of the breeding property “Rawbelle” Monto QLD. In 1998 a large grain growing property “Thalmera” located west of Moura was purchased. With the establishment of pastures “Thalmera” became a finishing property for the weaners turned off “Rawbelle”.
Further purchases of finishing country at Moura included “Spottswood Park” in the Bauhinia district in 1991 and “Orana Park” in 2009.
Expansion of the breeding herd was commenced in 1994 with the purchase of “Evora” And “Mascot” aggregation, a sheep property in the Blackall district, “Albro” west of Clermont in 1998, “Minnie Downs”, the first registered Merino Stud, west of Tambo in 2004 and “Caledonia” north of Aramac in 2019.
“Rawbelle” was sold in 2013 and the breeder herd was relocated to “Glenbar” west of Theodore following its purchase that same year.
Throughout the period of operation TVF Pastoral has acquired neighbouring properties to add scale to the current properties.
The TVF Pastoral business runs a Santa Gertrudis / Angus cross breeding herd of up to 10,000 breeders.
Bulls are purchased from studs with industry leading genetics.
The heifer progeny are classed, and suitable replacement females retained. Surplus heifers are moved to the backgrounding / finishing properties to be grown out and marketed.
The steer progeny are moved to the backgrounding / finishing properties to be grown out and marketed.
