“Carabeen”, a boutique cattle property high in the Border Ranges of South East Queensland, Australia is home to our Bazadais and Angus stud which produces superior stud cattle and premium grass-fed beef.
Carabeen Bazadais is renowned throughout Australia for the quality of its stud animals, brokered by the use of performance recording, genetic testing and an in-herd EBV program. These three methods identify animals of superior merit and highlight our commitment to utilizing the latest techniques and technology within our breeding program. The selective use of imported semen with genetic data, and embryo transfer programs of quality cow lines has allowed us to fast-track rapid genetic improvement in Australian Bazadais cattle.
At “Carabeen” we understand the needs of Australian commercial producers. We walk the talk. Carabeen Beef markets our quality premium grass-fed beef directly to consumers and bespoke restaurants. The beef is produced following ethical and sustainable practices, and is free of hormones, antibiotics and chemicals. The quality of our meat reflects the TLC bestowed on our cattle and our passion to produce tender and flavoursome beef of the highest standard.
Our property is also home to a large tract of pristine sub-tropical rainforest, which encircles the grassy paddocks and creek flats. Great care is taken to ensure that every farming practice works to enhance the health and sustainability of the fauna and flora of the rainforest. The rainforest is home to three threatened species including the iconic Alberts Lyrebird. The male lyrebird is famous for his superb mimicry and mesmerising display. Visitors to our forest are given the rare opportunity to witness first-hand his captivating dance of love. We feel privileged to share our home with our native wildlife and as custodians of our land we tirelessly advocate for the protection of the forest and its inhabitants.
