Our Property

Berida is our working cattle property in the Bendemeer district of northern New South Wales. It’s classic New England country—big skies, crisp winter mornings, warm summers, and a landscape that shifts from productive undulating paddocks into steeper timbered hills and sheltered gullies. Close to Bendemeer, a small village on the Macdonald River between Tamworth and the broader New England tablelands. It’s a region known for grazing, hardy country, and strong agricultural history, shaped by early settlement, stock routes, and the development of transport links through the New England. It’s the kind of district where the landscape still tells stories—old crossings, bridges, and townships built around the needs of farming communities. Today, it remains a place where agriculture matters and people look after each other.

Berida is a mix of open grazing land and timbered slopes, with plenty of shade and shelter across the property. The native trees and shelterbelts make a real difference through summer heat and winter cold, and they give the place a calm, established feel. Well watered by a network of dams and natural drainage lines, we’ve got reliable water spread across the property, supporting grazing management and helping the country stay productive through changing seasons.

Berida is set up as a practical cattle place. We operate the property to support sensible grazing and stock movement, with solid cattle handling facilities that allow us to work cattle efficiently and quietly. Alongside the day-to-day infrastructure, it’s also a property we’re proud to live and work on—comfortable, functional, and built around family life as well as farming.
