 Droughtmaster

The Droughtmaster is a tropical breed of beef cattle developed in North Queensland, Australia by several cattlemen from crossing Brahman and British breed cattle, principally the Beef Shorthorn during the early 1900s.The breed was conceived in response to the need in the Australian Tropics for a breed of cattle which had good tick resistance and would be able to use the environment and the pastures in the most efficient manner to give higher weight gains and fertility.
