Commercially focussed cattle and sheep genetics that perform under rigorous high stocking rates. We don't breed for show ribbons. We use industry leading genetics carefully selected for high genetic gain and phenotypic traits.
We use extensive genomic testing and analysis across our entire business.
Clear Creek Pastoral Co operates from the biodiverse pastures of North East Victoria. We breed Angus, Red Angus, Advancer composite cattle and Catalyst shedding sheep on an accelerated lambing system. We also trade commercial cattle and invest in equity partnerships with like-minded agricultural businesses.
We are not a traditional stud operation. We are a genetics company that happens to farm. Every breeding decision is backed by genomic data, economic modelling, and a focus on what works commercially — not what wins ribbons.
Our approach is inspired by the intensive protein sectors — poultry and pigs worked out the value of heterosis and data-driven breeding decades ago. We believe the beef and sheep industries are ready for the same shift.
Black and Red Angus breeding cattle selected for commercially relevant traits. Our cow herd has been built from elite females sourced from leading herds across Australia. A family history of breeding Angus stretching back to 1849.
An optimal combination of British and European beef genetics, inspired by the research of the Meat Animal Research Centre in Nebraska, USA with the MARC II composite programme. Australia's early adopter to temperate beef composite breeding.
A shedding sheep composite operated on a system inspired by the Cornell STAR accelerated lambing program — five lambings in three years, year-round lamb supply, no shearing. Operated as a PIC-inspired genetics company model.
Active cattle trading across commercial classes. We buy, background, finish and trade cattle using risk-modelled decision frameworks and forward contract management.
Poultry and pigs have used heterosis, genomic selection and data-driven breeding for 50 years. The beef and sheep industries are still largely relying on visual appraisal and breed purity. We think there is a better way.
Every breeding animal is tested through Zoetis INHERIT Select or HD 50K. Genomic-Enhanced EPDs provide accuracy equivalent to 20+ progeny before the animal has a single calf. We select on economic indexes, not show ring trends.
Crossbreeding isn't a dirty word — it's the most powerful genetic tool available. Our Advancer composites carry significant retained heterosis while maintaining Angus phenotype and market acceptability. The result: cattle that outperform their purebred parents.
From ration formulation to risk modelling, pasture budgets to carcase feedback — we build and use our own software platforms to make better decisions faster. The future of farming is quantitative, not anecdotal.
We don't just use technology — we build it. Clear Creek Pastoral Co develops its own suite of agricultural software platforms to bring precision management, real-time decision making and data-driven insights to livestock production.
From paddock-level feed budgeting to enterprise-wide profitability analysis, our tools are built by farmers for farmers. No consultants, no committees — just practical software that solves real problems on real farms.
Complete Australian farm management platform. 31 modules covering livestock, pastures, rations, weather, financials and ATO tax planning.
Built for American ranchers. Cow-calf, stocker, feedlot, hay and crop enterprises with 50-state tax, Section 179 and Schedule F integration.
Livestock nutrition platform. Three species, three countries, three energy models. Least-cost optimisation, mineral balancing and feedlot closeout.
