GENERAL INFO
The Raff Angus herd is run on a 1057 hectare aggregation within the south eastern end of King Island - just 8km off the east coast. It is located in some of the highest production and highest rainfall land on the island.
King Island is located on the western side of Bass Strait mid-way between Tasmania and the mainland. It is just 70 odd kilometres long and a little over 30 kilometres wide yet produces over 20% of Tasmania’s beef production.
King Island experiences a mild temperate climate that allows green grass to thrive all year round making it ideal breeding and fattening country. Along with the cattle the four children have a free-range egg production business.
A small number of Texel sheep are run to produce rams for the islands requirements and for fat lamb production. Two houses on-property are currently being renovated for Farm Stay Tourism opportunities.
In August 2020 the majority of our farm became fully Certified Organic.
