Karen, Ayla and Rob Scanlan have been breeding droughtmaster cattle on properties in coastal areas of Queensland, Australia, since 1990. We currently run our stud herds as well as a commercial herd on 2400 acres at Mt Tom, near Miriamvale, along with our Kenmay stud. The Kenmay property has an annual rainfall expectation of 40 inches. The soils are very sandy and nutrient-poor all over the undulating block which has a 3 klm frontage to the Baffle Creek.

We have selected for all the best Bos Indicus attributes of survival in heat, drought, flies and ticks and all the best Bos Taurus attributes of good temperament, fertility, milking and muscling combined into the one 50/50 package. Good frame score with longer legs and correct structure is important to us, as we want our cattle to be able to walk long distances in inland Australian areas. Tick loads are high to extreme along the coast, and we have kept a high Bos Indicus content in our herd to cope with the ticks with minimal use of chemicals. We also minimise chemical inputs through the use of rotational or cell grazing, fly tunnels and diatomaceous earth flybags. Animal welfare is also a high priority for us, and we select strongly for tractable temperament and use low stress stock-handling techniques and humane veterinary techniques. All of this means that any breeding animal you buy from Parawanga should cope naturally with any environmental stresses very well and be a pleasure to work with. We aim to sell around 40-60 bulls annually at 2 levels only, being either high quality breeding herd improvers or top quality stud sires. They are selectively bred right on the coast and grown out in paddock situations to perform well in any environment.
