Raff Angus

The founder of the stud, David Raff, spent 56 years on farm dedicating his life to the Angus breed for the Australian Beef Industry with the full support of wife Jill. In early 2021 they both relocated back to Toowoomba, Queensland. Today Andrew Raff with his wife Anna and young family Harry, Charlie, Georgina and Olivia control all aspects of the business from sire selection and breeding decisions to the general ‘day to day’ cattle husbandry, farm management and record keeping. 2015 saw a major restructure of the Raff Angus Stud. Over 500 Raff Angus Herd Book Registered females were relocated to King Island from Queensland to form the nucleus of the families elite Angus Seedstock and Angus Beef breeding business.
Spring 2021 saw the beginning of a new chapter where Raff Angus returned to the spring selling season with an on-property bull sale held back at our previous location at Drillham in Queensland. The aim is to sell 100 bulls annually through the auction system each year with private sales occurring on demand. Approximately 400 registered male calves will be born annually allowing for intense pedigree, phenotype and performance selection pressures to occur.
All remaining male calves will be 100% grass finished on farm as steers, certified organic, and followed through for detailed carcase feedback. 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.
