We operate with precision, sustainability, and care - using advanced technology, efficient systems, and strict welfare standards to deliver premium beef responsibly
Grain Fed Feedlot
Killara Feedlot’s grain-fed program combines advanced batching technology with steam-flaked grains to maximise digestibility and growth. Each ration is customised for cattle class, season, and market requirements, ensuring consistent performance and compliance with NFAS standards.
Grass Finishing Factory
Our grass-fed program offers cattle a natural finishing process in open paddocks, supplemented with essential nutrients for balanced growth. This approach meets consumer demand for grass-fed beef while maintaining strict traceability and animal welfare standards.
Manure Fertiliser
Killara converts pen manure into nutrient-rich compost through a structured turning and curing process. This sustainable initiative reduces waste, supports local cropping, and creates a profitable business stream for regional farmers.
Irrigation for Silage
Effluent from the feedlot is recycled through equilibrium ponds and pumped to pivot irrigation systems, nourishing silage crops and improving soil fertility. This closed-loop system minimises environmental impact and maximises resource efficiency.
Backgrounding
Before entering the feedlot, cattle undergo a backgrounding phase where they receive controlled nutrition and health checks. This process reduces stress, improves adaptation, and sets the foundation for optimal feedlot performance.
Farming Pastures and Cropping
Killara grows corn and barley silage alongside rotational pastures to maintain feed security and soil health. Collaborating with local growers, we ensure sustainable cropping practices that benefit both the feedlot and the wider agricultural community.
