Westholme

Established in 1824, Australian Agricultural Company (AACo), the producer of Westholme, is the oldest continuously operating company in Australia. The Westholme Wagyu herd was founded over 20 years ago on champion Japanese Wagyu bulls and now breeds the highest credentialed Wagyu bloodlines outside of Japan.

Westholme believe in letting the land lead and if they take care of the land and grass then the rest will take care of itself. The result is signature Australian Wagyu build on a genetic lineage tracing back to Japan and imbued with the terroir of their changing landscape.

Their cattle graze freely, moving at will across their rangelands for the first three years of their lives. Calves are raised by their mothers and family groupings are allowed to roam freely together. They only allow people (station hands, vets, land managers & vets) to intervene as needed, checking on the health of the cattle, ensuring that they have easy access to water, and making sure the grass isn't overgrazed.

Westholme cattle graze on native plants such as Mitchell Grasses, Bluegrass, Native Millet and Minty Pom-Poms. The cattle are grain-finished, meaning they are fed a unique grain mix made of grains prepared on the station and either grown themselves or sourced locally whenever possible. This grain mix contains cotton seed, oats, distiller's grain, almon hulls, molasses and sorghum.

Healthy, happy and well cared for cattle are integral to Westholme's nature-led approach. All of this gives exceptional marbling for the beef and a taste both deep and round with delicate mouthfeel and a clean finish. Their beef delivers exceptional juiciness, an amazing silky texture and succulent, buttery biscuit flavours.

Westholme cattle are graded according to the stringent MSA guidelines, ensuring consistent flavour and texture every time.
