LarnOO's Pure Grass-Fed Black Angus Beef thrive on the lush the pristine environment in the foothills south of the Great Dividing Range and west of Switzerland Range Nature Conservation Reserve.

The land holding runs a spring drop breeding herd plus follower cattle. All livestock are pasture fed, and graze on the regularly fertilised and over sown pastures of rich mix of rye, Phalaris, clover and nutrient dense natural grasses that thrive in the district.  

The soils found on the property include the fertile Goulburn River flat soil and that of the lower hill country. Rainfall is mostly a reliable high 700 mm rainfall. The volatility of seasons is underpinned by the abundant Goulburn River water rights available for the LarnOO Pastoral operations.

Significant high reliability water rights, an abundance of catchment dams, irrigation infrastructure and a reliable water reticulation system throughout the property ensures the pasture remains plentiful year-round.

Extract Angus Australia:

The first record of black cattle imported into Australia was of 8 black cattle that were unloaded at the Hobart Town docks in Tasmania on the 20th January 1824. These cattle were taken to Dennistoun the property of Captain Patrick Wood, near Bothwell.

They were regarded by early writers and then by the Angus Society of Australia as the first cattle to come to Australia of a type similar to those that formed the Angus breed in the following 60 years. The genes of these early cattle that arrived at the Hobart Town docks remain in the Edgell’s family Dennistoun Angus herd today, and it remains the oldest property to continuously run Angus cattle in Australia.
