The Droughtmaster is a tropical breed of beef cattle developed in North Queensland by several cattlemen from crossing Brahman and British breed cattle. The breed was conceived in response to the need in the Australian Tropics for a breed of cattle which had good tick resistance and would be able to utilize the environment and the pastures in the most efficient manner to give higher weight gains and fertility.
After many years of crossbreeding and meticulous selection for: • calving ease • good meat quality • parasite resistance • heat tolerance • ability to adapt to the environment • high fertility • docility • longevity • Mothering ability
