Mandalong cattle

Place of Origin Australia
Origin Development of the Mandalong Special began at Mandalong Park, near Sydney, NSW, in the mid 1960s. Five base breeds were used - the Charolais, Chianina, Polled Shorthorn, British White and Brahman. After four generations the breed was stabilized with a content of 58.33 percent European, 25 percent British and 16.67 percent Brahman bloodlines.
Purpose Beef
Appearance The breed is large and varies in colour from light cream to dun
Horns May be polled (hornless) or horned.
Other Considerations The breed was developed with the objective of producing a hardy animal, small at birth for easy calving but with a high growth rate and the ability to produce a high quality, well muscled carcass, with well distributed fat cover at all stages of growth.
