A LITTLE HISTORY...
The Belmore stud was founded by Andy Withers in 1969 to compliment the family’s commercial Shorthorn herd.

Belmore Station is north of Lake Victoria in far West NSW in pastoral country with a 9 inch rainfall and cattle were expected to be functional, fertile and profitable.

In 1980 Andy, Sally and their three daughters moved down to the Limestone Coast region of South Australia into light sandy country with a regular 22 inch winter rainfall. The property “Exmoor” is nicely situated in between the famous Padthaway and Coonawarra wine regions!

We have always sought to breed cattle with industry leading performance - but not at the expense of structural excellence, fertility and doing ability.

The ability to finish on grass in typical Australian production systems is paramount.

Now in 2005 we are running 400 stud and 200 commercial shorthorn females with over 100 bulls sold annually to regular clients all over Australia.

We have teams of bulls in Naracoorte, Northern and Dubbo Bull Sales as well as the Alice Springs Show & Sale and have a bi annual on property female sale offering top quality proven bloodlines from our herd.

We are continually improving the performance and efficiency of the herd to meet the demands of today’s and the future’s markets.
