About Elrose
At Elrose Brahman Stud, we are proud to lead an expansive and successful operation that has become a cornerstone of the Australian beef cattle industry. Our focus is always on the unique environment in which the Australian beef market operates, ensuring that our Brahman herd thrives across our Brigalow, Theodore, Rhyddings, Moura, and Mostowie, Baralaba properties.
Extensive
Experience
With over 40 years of experience, starting in Cloncurry, North West Queensland, we have gained invaluable firsthand knowledge of Australia’s diverse and extreme conditions. Our commercial herd operation, spanning from the Gulf breeding country to Central Queensland’s finishing country, has provided us with a deep understanding of market opportunities throughout the production chain.
Industry
Impact
In the past decade, no other Brahman Stud in Australia has matched our impact. We’ve excelled in sale ring presence, bull production, objective selection criteria, increased sale turnoff and prices, client service, and success in breed-featured commercial and stud competitions. Our commitment to excellence sets us apart in the industry.
Resilient and
Productive Brahmans
Our journey over the past 40-plus years has involved breeding Brahmans under challenging conditions, including long dry periods, summer temperatures exceeding 40°C, and variable pasture quality. These conditions test the resilience and productivity of our Brahmans, and we are proud that they consistently deliver top-tier beef production results.
Commitment to
Excellence
The steady and growing influx of cattle producers and bull buyers, including private and pastoral company representatives, passing through our gates, attests to our breeding philosophy, management practices, and commitment to customer satisfaction. We focus on producing large lines of bulls with breeding depth, female fertility, and performance to ensure predictable outcomes for our clients’ herds.
Our Philosophy
“Calves on the ground and kilos on the steers are the main influences on herd profitability, which is why most of our bull turnoff is to large commercial operators,” says Rodger Jefferis.
Visitors to our Stud can easily recognise our passion and energy for our herd. We get great satisfaction out of breeding to achieve increased herd performance. Our bull buying clients rely on us to power their herds with industry-leading beef performance genetics.
Hear Rodger share his journey in the cattle industry and the story behind Elrose Brahmans in this conversation with Kelvin from Breeders Blueprint.
