Green Footprint

We feel the greatest commitment to farming is holistic management of cattle and the land. Sustainability.

We have grown and planted out over 50,000 native trees on the land and grow about 500 seedlings each year.

Respect for each other, animals and respect for the environment. We recognize the Wurundjeri and Bunurong original landowners and their outlook on the spirituality of the land.

Our goal is to leave the land in as good or better condition than when we acquired it and create cattle that will perform from organic land.

DNA testing (Genomics) can identify high Feed Efficient cattle which means less energy expended to produce beef. When cattlemen purchase cattle, the main traits they are looking far are Calving Ease and Growth, however Feed Efficiency is now extremely important if Operations are to stay profitable and survive. Previously Feed Efficiency has focused on Feed Lot cattle, but now the focus is on all cattle.

Feed Efficiency will play a huge role in the coming years, and should be considered for the future of the beef industry. And that awesome carcass bulls as Ten-Rose Edgar Allen Poll, Ten-Rose Poll Just In Time and Murrinstone Auscan, Ten-Rose Such A King, Ten-Rose Wilson Mandate,  will come into their own with their  record traits. Their grand progeny will be created into several programs for the advancement of the breed.

Ten-Rose have developed and  fenced off a native reserve on the farm and the following animals are found there.  A Federal Native Title is in place which gives protection for the flora and fauna of the Swamp. The new Bandicoot Corridor (tree plantation) surrounding the paddocks has begun.  Our Growling Green Grass Frog project will begin 2026.
