Our history

From our humble beginnings, Stockyard has grown into a multi-generational business producing the finest beef savoured around the world. For over 65 years, we've built a legacy rooted in our deep passion for what we do, the animals we care for, and the land we’re privileged to nurture and protect.

Robin Hart, Founder of Stockyard
watch OUR LEGACY video

Founded by Robin and Del Hart in 1958, our journey began at the Eidsvold property, where they nurtured their passion for cattle breeding. In 1965, they established the Kerwee feedlot at “Berwick,” supplying local butcher shops with quality beef.

A pivotal trip to Japan in 1969 transformed our focus, inspiring the Hart family to create a premium beef product that satisfied the discerning tastes for flavour, tenderness, and aroma. This unwavering commitment to excellence led to the establishment of Stockyard Meat Packers in 1973, paving the way for our global presence.

Today, Stockyard is synonymous with quality, boasting a finishing capacity that has grown from 200 to over 20,000 cattle. Our grain-fed beef brand stands as Australia’s most awarded, reflecting our dedication to sustainability, quality, and the values that have guided us for generations. We continue to honour our legacy, passionately nurturing the land and the animals that sustain us.
