At Lord Pastoral, we’re a family-owned and operated cattle business with properties across Queensland. We’re proud to run a values-led operation grounded in care for our animals, our people, and the land we work on.
We believe in doing things the right way, not just the easy way. That means practising low-stress stock handling, working with cattle in a calm and respectful manner, and continually refining our approach to regenerative agriculture. We're not following a trend, we’re building a sustainable future by observing what works in our environment, measuring outcomes, and making improvements that last.
This ethos of "measure and improve" runs through everything we do.

ABOUT LORD PASTORAL
Proudly Family-Run. Grounded in Queensland. Driven by Purpose.
Lord Pastoral is a multi-generational, family-owned cattle operation based in Queensland. With properties across Queensland, we manage a large-scale business that stays true to its roots - hands-on, community-minded, and driven by a deep respect for the land and the livestock we care for.
We don’t believe in shortcuts. Our approach is built on low-stress stock handling and practical, environment-specific applications of regenerative agriculture. These aren’t just buzzwords to us—they’re part of an ongoing commitment to do better, for both our animals and the ecosystems they depend on.
We're constantly studying what works best in our environment - adopting a mindset of continuous improvement guided by real-world observations, data, and shared experience. Every decision we make is shaped by the long-term health of our land, livestock, and people.
