Jade Park Angus
Jade Park Angus is run by Andrew, Lisa and their two boys; Sam and Angus. The farm is situated on 1000 acres in Hansonville, at the entrance to the King Valley, in the picturesque North East Victoria.
We have been establishing our herd since 1993, the year of the big flood, based on genetics from Millah Murrah Angus, Comfort Hill, Ardrossan and Blackmores Angus. Since then we have expanded the stud year by year; currently we run a spring calving herd with all stud females AI’d and a strong embryo transfer program each year.
The focus of Jade Park is to breed functional, fertile cattle with a strong emphasis on a natural, docile temperament. We strive for a phenotype with natural thickness and muscle expression while ensuring structural soundness is non-negotiable. Often the focus for genetic selection is solely on the bull, however we aim to breed great females who have a strong pedigree to produce a consistent, reliable line-up of bulls.
Andrew, Lisa and their boys have operated Jade Park Angus on 1000 productive acres in Hansonville, North East Victoria since 1993. Jade Park's focus is to breed easy doing, fertile cattle with great temperament, natural thickness and depth of body.
The circle of life!

Our first 2022 ET calves are arriving at the same time as Dr. Reon Holmes from Holbrook Vet Centre is collecting another round of embryos from our donors.

In a Jade Park first, we have purchased a bull from across the ditch in New Zealand!!
We are very keen to announce that after successfully securing Meadowslea R818 at their 2022 stud bull auction, we have been able to negotiate an exciting shared arrangement with Meadowslea Genetics!
We at Jade Park have been searching for a reliable heifer joining with outcross genetics and Meadowslea R818 immediately ticked all the right boxes. He has very safe calving ease attributes with high fertility and an easy-doing style from his ample fat cover.
Whilst having moderate growth EBVs, his capacity is enormous as you will see in the pre-sale video. And as always, docility is an absolute non-negotiable which is never an issue with any Meadowslea Angus bulls.
R818’s outcross pedigree is super reliable with his maternal side full of prominent, proven Meadowslea cows and we were very impressed with his sire, Measdowslea ‘Meat Machine’ G914, who is a true heifer bull with trait leading calving ease EBVs and great fat cover.
Exciting times ahead at Jade Park with plenty of new genetics coming through this year and looking forward to R818’s progeny in 2023!
