ABOUT ROCKING CHAIR RANCH
Looking for an Angus Cattle or Border Collie breeder
who raises quality, ready to work animals?
Or perhaps you're looking for a Consultant to get clear on your goals and enact your plans.
You’ve found your match with Rocking Chair Ranch
Our top priority is raising the right animal for you - one that will support the health and growth of your herd into the next generation.
More than just impressive specs, our pasture-focused, ready to work philosophy means the animals we breed are immediately adaptable to your environment.
It’s not conventional, but we don’t believe in appearances that cover up what’s beneath the surface. Instead, we create honest quality that’s best for the animal and the grazier, so that you leave knowing you got everything you were looking for and more.
It’ll look and feel like sheer luck, but it’s not.
It’s a combination of:
ADAPTABILITY
We create animals that can quickly and easily adapt to life on your property. From the feeding to the training, we prioritise ready to work conditioning.
QUALITY
With traceable animals deliberately bred, we prioritise healthy animals that will improve your herd. That’s why we have a queue of return clients waiting for our stock.
PERFORMANCE
For both breeding and training, we shape high-performing, responsive animals that are ready to hit the ground running.
Here's what our clients see in our service:
A LEGACY OF INTEGRITY
The Rocking Chair Ranch legacy started 50 years ago with Andrew’s parents, Clinton and Susan, whose eye for the traditional Angus saw them run a successful commercial cattle enterprise.
We (Andrew and Sarina) opened Rocking Chair Ranch in 2011, as part of a 5-year plan of succession. Between our own herd, contract mustering, managing Clinton and Susan’s herd, a huge horse breaking in business and buying 3 more properties - life was hectic!
Did we mention we threw two kids in the mix at the same time? Crazy, we know…
At Rocking Chair Ranch, we prioritise:​
-
Pasture-focused, healthy cattle with genetic traceability. Because you want animals that are true-to-label, raised primarily on pasture but with strategic dietary interventions throughout their lifespan. With healthy joints to support longevity, our animals are ready to work and won’t wilt in the pasture.
​
-
High quality performance markers across our animals, land, and operations. Because at the end of the day, we’re in business and you are too.
​
-
Regenerative practices that protect the land. Because protecting the soil has far-reaching impacts beyond our land, to the calibre of animals you receive and the health of our planet.
Everything we do is focused on adaption, quality, and performance, to ensure we deliver on our word.
For graziers who want quality livestock, Rocking Chair Ranch has the animals you didn’t even know you needed!
We’re building a legacy of integrity – and you’re part of it!
We’ll get on like a cow and a scratching post if:
✔ You value honesty.
✔ Performance and adaptability matter to you.
✔ You want to build a herd that will serve you into the next generation.
