In your imaginations you might have journeyed through Australia’s Kakadu National Park or the Barossa Valley. Adventurous voyages through the Fraser Island and the Jenolan Caves surely must have happened and then you awake to the hustle of normal life; alas all the dreams shattered.

There is one Australian specialty that you would have encountered in one form or the other and that is their beef. The country is the third largest exporter of beef and one of the most proficient producers with the entire process being as smoothly and quantity maintained to the highest possible level under strict scrutiny.

Aussie grazers prefer to breed cattle in their cattle stations. This term basically originated in the land of kangaroos itself. Cattle stations are extremely large size farms, with all the necessary facilities required for the best upbringing of the animals which provide the best value beef. The owners and staff also reside near the station making it a small town setup for the animals. Anna Creek station of South Australia is the world’s largest cattle station.

The North of the continent has extreme weather conditions; in this area the major breeding area is Queensland. The south comprises of smaller farms with limited numbers in the herd; for grazing special grass and crops are grown for feed.

The northern beef tends to be for direct export and usage whether in the national or international circuit whereas the southern is mainly used as chilled beef and then exported. The southern animals are younger and domestically preferred for beef usage than the former.

Australian beef is preferred throughout the world because of its quality, as beef and cattle from the region are free from major diseases.
