We established Nannas Farm in the beautiful Southern Highlands, south of Sydney, in 2022. We were lucky enough to have 15cm of snow shortly after we arrived which was stunning and also confirmed that this is a perfect environment for Scotland's shaggy beltie breed.

We follow regenerative farming practices (kinda means that you're focussing on growing the soil health, and the grass and animal health will follow) as best we can. Research has shown that one of the most effective ways to steward the land is to allow cattle to do most of the work for you (and yep, it's also being a lazy farmer haha).

TBH, we first looked into belties (called oreos in the US) 'cause they're so pretty. But we came to appreciate that they are very efficient foragers ie they munch on everything, not just perfect pastures like Maccas' well marketed breed. This varied diet is better for the environment and makes for a tastier steak! They are also a very gentle breed which helps with our low stress handling.
