WELCOME TO THE AUSTRALIAN BRAFORD SOCIETY

Australian Braford cattle were developed by cattlemen and women who faced many challenges to their livelihoods. Only major changes to traditional beliefs and practices would guarantee their long-term survival. With continual drought and cattle ticks affecting the industry at that time, the answer was to breed cattle that could cope better with both. Necessity provided the motivation, while initiative and perseverance ultimately produced the solution. Against a lot of opposition, the birth of the Braford Breed came about over 50 years ago.
