The White Lakes Angus Herd was founded in 1961.

Since 1974, the Performance of this herd has been monitored by the National Beef Recording Scheme, run by the Agricultural Business Research Institute at the University of New England, Armidale, NSW  Australia 2351.

 EBV’s (Estimated Breeding Values) for fertility, growth, and carcass are blended with structure to achieve a balance that is aimed at producing an improvement on each previous generation.

At "White Lakes" we observe the Angus Group Breedplan Code of Practice, the Beef Cattle Seedstock Producers Code of Practice, and are CattleCare Accredited.

Matings occur over a period of nine weeks only. All matings are by Artificial Insemination, except for any back-up matings by homebred bulls. Sire selection is made on a worldwide basis, but yearling homebred bulls are also used in the A.I. program.

Embryo Transfer is an integral part of the breeding program, and fine tuned to produce calves born at the same time as the main drop.

Heifers are expected to calve at 23-24 months of age. 

Continual genetic pressure has resulted in this herd becoming renown for both it's feminine females and it's fertile bulls with balanced breeding and beefing traits. 

Two or three Angus are entered each year in the Perth Royal Show. These have won many broad ribbons, including the 1994 All Breeds Supreme Female, "WL Hope", who later sold for $20,000.00.  Since then, one of her daughters has been sold by the Wilson Downs Stud for the same value.

In 2004 we achieved another All Breeds Supreme Female - "White Lakes Xciting Woman  X19".

Buyers of our bloodlines continue to enjoy great success in the sale ring.
