Wandilla is operated by Lee and Gillian Collins and family. The property is situated at Marlborough in the heart of Brahman country.

Wandilla cattle are bred and raised on coastal speargrass and mixed couch grass creek flats. This produces good doing, fertile, reliable cattle that can be turned off at any age.

Our philosophy to breed “no nonsense” sound cattle has led to a strong repeat clientele base of which we are proud with several families buying Wandilla bulls for the past 40 years or more. All bulls are sold off grass or a maximum of 120 days grain supplement at between 2 and 3 years of age. Naturally grown cattle with high fertility, Wandilla cattle can be purchased either in the paddock or at auction in Central and Northern Queensland. A limited number of females become available from time to time.

The stud has been on Breedplan since 1995, using it as a management tool to either boost or moderate growth in our stock. The stock standard criteria for breeding quality cattle are firmly in place in the Wandilla herd - udders, feet, temperament, fertility and constitution. We have found that once you begin weighing cattle, the Breedplan figures becoming highly relevant with regards to weight for age.

When selecting stud sires, as well as the above requirements, we place important emphasis on length, thickness and frame. We like cattle that weigh well and we like cattle with genuine growth. Our selection process has led to the use of five trait leaders for growth without resulting in extreme cattle. It is no accident that we have achieved genuine weight for age stock off grass.

Wandilla is easily accessible being situated at the junction of the Bruce Highway and the inland road to Sarina, one hour north of Rockhampton. Feel free to come and look at what we have to offer. We would be more than happy to show you around and discuss our breeding programme.
