Waverley Station comprises two beautiful properties located in Scone (NSW) and King Island (Tasmania). While each property is completely unique, they all form part of a complementary bigger picture.
Waverley Station - Scone
Waverley Station, Scone, is at the centre of the Waverley Angus cattle business and it's here that we focus on improving the genetics that form and influence our herd across all of our entities.
These landholdings are an ideal place to breed both bulls and heifers, as the wide range of soil types and varying topography expose our cattle to nutritional variety, allowing them to continue to breed strong, functional and consistent calves in tougher times. In addition, we have a spread of improved pastures that complement the feed gap that is often apparent during the hot, dry Australian summer.
We have been producing fertile, functional and easy-doing cattle for over 25 years and offer Angus bulls and Angus females for sale annually. Please feel free to contact us at any time with questions about purchasing cattle.

King Island
Located in the Bass Strait, King Island's seasons can be as variable as the landscape and growing beef here certainly has its challenges and its rewards. But with green feed and rainfall in abundance, King Island is an ideal location to breed and fatten Angus cows and our holdings here provide us with the security of being able to supply our clients with a consistent and reliable product year after year - no matter how dry it gets up north.
Over the years, King Island Manager Jamie Roebuck has worked tirelessly to establish some truly amazing pastures which, combined with his exceptional cattle management, allow us to deliver a product with exceptional eating quality and tenderness - as well as a unique island flavour.
