So, how do you say it… Beer…mu…lah, Beermullah! A small locality of of the Greater Gingin region of Western Australia dropped in on the western side of the Brand Highway around 15 minutes north of the Gingin Townsite. A big name for a very small and tightly held area boasting beautiful loamy soils with a mix of flood plain and small rises. We look to the Moore River National Park to the North along with being surrounded by some of the most diverse farming land Western Australia has to offer.

Our annual rainfall is around 600mm and generally allows us to hold lush green pastures well into the summer. Long term green pastures are essential for the ability to grow out our cattle and we take great pride in our pastures heath.

What do they eat? Well, our main grazing pastures are made up of Safeguard Rye, Strawberry and Crimson Clovers, Couch and Kykuyu grasses. Our floodplain pastures are majority clover based with a very special clover that LOVES to have wet feet… Lotus Major (it’s the one with the little yellow flower). Our lighter pastures are primarily Marine Couch (fun fact, Marine Couch is a vertical growing grass) and Kykuyu with areas of Perennials such as Rhodes Grass, Gatton and Panic. And our lake an creek areas are surrounded by native salt bush. To allow the control of weeds we plant forage crops for hay and grazing on a rotation annually. This allows us to be self sufficient all year round.

So where did Crane’s Neck get its name? It’s said that the creek running from the north down to the beautiful lake is the neck of the crane with the lake being the belly. A name we are proud to carry on.

Crane’s Neck is home to around 500 cows and their progeny annually. Our herd is split into smaller herds of 150-200 head and form part of a large scale cell grazing operation. We rotate our small herds every few days to allow consistent fresh food and pasture rest.

Cell grazing is a powerful and sustainable technique that offers numerous benefits for both the land and livestock. By dividing grazing areas into smaller cells and allowing livestock to graze intensively for a shorter period before moving to a new cell, this management practice promotes more even forage utilization and rest periods for the land. This rotational grazing system enhances soil health by reducing compaction and erosion while allowing plants to recover and regenerate. Moreover, cell grazing maximizes the nutrient cycling process, as manure is spread more evenly across the land. This practice also enhances biodiversity, as the diversified forage species provide a variety of habitats for wildlife. Overall, cell grazing is a proven strategy that improves soil quality, increases forage productivity, and supports healthier livestock and ecosystems.

We are avid horse people and work our stock regularly with horses to maintain peaceful herd mentality, slow and educational training to calves at an early age and onto weaners as they grow and mature. Calves are worked alongside their mothers through the yards to ensure the best experience is had at an early age. Educating early is crucial to a kind and steady mentality and herd environment as they grow and prosper.

The days are long but they are rewarding, we wouldn’t change it for anything.

So, welcome to our farm, our home
