Central Queensland forms the heart of the Australian Beef Industry, occupying vast expanses of grassland that extend over millions of square kilometres.

Consolidated Meat Group has established extensive links with Australia's leading livestock suppliers that traverse four states from Central Queensland to New South Wales, Victoria and the Northern Territory. These strategic alliances with large pastoral companies and local beef cattle producers ensure consistency in quality product, safety and continual supply.

The highest quality end product relies on the supply of the highest quality stock. Producers supply Consolidated Meat Group with quality cattle from specifically bred and carefully managed herds that have met the stringent criteria required by the company. Consolidated Meat Group monitors all production processes to ensure that the highest standards are both maintained and improved upon. Grass-fed cattle are grazed on clean natural pastures over an extensive rural base. Grain-fed cattle are supplied with the highest quality balanced diet formulated by Australian feed specialists.

Our producer partners have embraced Australia's Cattlecare initiatives that are nationally accredited, ensuring both the welfare and health of our cattle. Identification tags are secured to every animal providing traceability from the processing plant back to both the farm and the feedlot. Comprehensive record-keeping provides the guarantee of safety and control. Animals are raised in humane conditions, with feedlots designed with the animal's welfare and comfort as a priority.

Our commitment to quality and food safety begins at the farm. Consolidated Meat Group personnel liaise directly with producers to ensure that the best methods are employed in the management and care of stock. Consolidated Meat Group's customers can be confident that the product they purchase is a safe and consistently superior product all year round.
