Rory Farragher (Group General Manager)
Over the last 3 years of heavily going back into the Beef Industry i have had to adapt quick, learn and set our families vision and goals for the future. When Dad passed away, we decided that the generations of Beef Farming from both sides of the family was to continue.
The three months leading up to buying properties and heavily increasing our herd size 10-fold i completed huge amount of research and aligning with leading Studs to create the premium Beef Cattle we now offer the public.
Whilst the first two years where very challenging for Brittany and i with only the two of us and friends helping out on the farm, its become clear to us now on what we want to achieve, and we have the right people and partners to take this operation to a leading Angus Stud and Carcass sale entity.
At my current stage of life, i consider myself fortunate and wealthy, and wealthy is a key word, i don’t relate wealth to money. I relate it to what we have, my wife Brittany that forms a key part of our success is a wonderful, and highly accomplished individual in what she has taken on and created so far in her life. My four beautiful children, Adelaide, Jenson, Etelka and Olympia have great health and sporting ability.
We live in a wonderful part of the world, and we are blessed to call Williams River in Seaham our home.
For those that want to know a bit about me, I am very passionate about my hobbies being cars / motorsport. Many know now i am supporting my Son in his motorsport dreams, currently kart racing and hopefully beyond in coming years. We thoroughly enjoy water skiing and been on the boat, i love here at home and up at Myall Lakes (Neranie) where my family has been going for 50 years.
I am a passionate foody, i love My well-cooked Angus Steak and dry aged (Which we do at home), cooking 14 hour slow cooked beef shin tacos at home and having all our best friend’s over. Doesn’t get much better i don’t think
When we go out, we love supporting what Maitland has to offer, with two restaurants our regulars. My other favourite has to be sushi, i have been following a good friend of mine Yick around sydney for 20 + years. There is no fresher produce or better made then what this guy can do. If ever you’re in Sydney, i can certainly suggest this place.
We are a passionate family, that puts 100% into every day, we aim to strive for the best of our ability. By taking this approach you achieve more every day, and year to create a bright future for those that surround us. We want to create inspiration in the Hunter that you can achieve whatever you inspire to do.
Tackle it at a combined unit, back yourselves when no one else is, head up when times are tough, and move forward with those that share your mission. By doing this you will create an exceptional life full of memories.
My last quote, there is no time like now, don’t wait, don’t put it off. Time with family and friends is a key now, one thing i am proud of is i always create time for people.
