Trafalgar Angus

About Us & Our Australian Angus

Trafalgar Angus origins stem back to 1994, where we ran a beef head of 150 Angus cows at Peaceful Bay near Denmark on the south coast of Western Australia.

The first venture into stud Angus world was a joint ET program performed in 1996. Embryos from White Lakes Angus – the McKay family, were used in our trial at ET implants. In more recent times the passion to develop an Angus stud was recommenced in Busselton, 2010. In 2012, Trafalgar Angus relocated to Wildwood Road in Vasse, some 8kms directly south of Dunsborough (a similar distance from Yallingyup on the coast). We believe it’s the most Western located Angus stud in Australia, nestled in amongst the vineyards and holiday country.

We currently run 150 breeders over 700 acres, providing quality of life to our cattle for higher quality specimens. We utilise the adjoining vineyards to run the cattle after grape picking. Our initial stock was from four other Australian Angus studs and it was a slow journey to redirect their genetics and traits to our standards. Over the years we have managed to create calves that are desirable for our standards and Angus cattle breeders. Embryo transfers became a big part of moving forward and over the last 6 years. We have sourced a significant quantity of quality embryos from both in interstate and locally – Coonamble Angus. Locally, Esslemont Angus has provided a numerous quantity of quality cows, allowing us to push the Index numbers, whilst not compromising the end composition of the cattle.

Stud Female Locations

Currently, Trafalgar Angus has a stud herd of 150 females located at Wildwood Road and a commercial group of 50 females located near Busselton. The commercial herd plays an important role in providing recipient females for the ET program, to enhance the stud’s genetics.

What We Strive For – Angus Australia

With the responsibility of breeding Australian Angus cattle, we strive for:

1. Calm temperaments

2. Balanced musculature structures

3. And quality limb alignments

With the use of EBV’s, we believe a calm temperament and using these objective measures gives us the best outcome when producing stud cattle. All in all, this makes us very proud and we know our clients will be extremely happy with their purchase.
