The 2024 Gippsland Food & Fibre Awards were held on 31st May at Maffco Brewery & Distillery
We were honoured and completely surprised, to receive the Innovation Award and then be named the 2024 Gippsland Agribusiness of the Year.
Congratulations to the other inspiring Gippsland businesses recognised throughout the evening. Thank you to everyone involved at Gippsland Food & Fibre for your ongoing championing of agribusiness in our region and the sponsors for their generous support of the event. We would also like to acknowledge our family and friends, the wise counsel and guidance of our mentors, the network of professionals we rely on, and our wonderful clients and colleagues without whom we couldn’t do what we do.
Trio of Champions
Our family has enjoyed incredible success at the 59th Herefords Australia National Show & Sale.
It was an immense honour to be awarded all three division champions under the adjudication of international Judge Shane Bedwell, USA We were then humbled to receive such strong support at auction to achieve the sale top price of $46,000 and record an average of $21,270.
Huge thanks to the purchasers, underbidders and everyone who contributed to the organisation and running of the event. Our family would like to thank Sam, Tabby, Daniel, & Geoff for their tireless efforts during the week. We couldn’t have done it without you!
And a special shoutout to our broader Hereford family for sharing the joy of our success with.

‘Our clients’ success is our greatest reward’
Mawarra is our home, our livelihood and our passion.
We strive to present bulls and females that offer a range of genetic options and performance traits, enabling our clients to purchase from the same ‘farm gate’ while continuing to improve and diversify their own breeding programs. Our own breeding herd has been developed over more than half a century.
We are encouraged by the passion and enthusiasm that our children have for Mawarra and the beef industry. Together we are committed to consistently breeding modern, efficient, profitable cattle to meet the needs of our clients and the greater beef industry….
