Currawee Crossbreds was founded by Greg and Sally Chappell in 1996. At this time the involvement with cross-bred seedstock production commenced at the property “Currawee” Moree. The original crossbreds were developed from Moreton Bay Shorthorms, Dulverton Angus, Westholm Shorthorns, Riverslea Shorthorns and Jon Wrights Blueys (stabilised Angus/shorthorns).

In 2004 Blair & Josie Angus invited Greg and Sally to develop a crossbred to optimise production in more extensive cattle breeding areas - Capentaria Downs and to fullfil their Signature Beef carcase/cut specifications.

The focus in the Currawee Crossbred model has been in the economically important profit drivers which include:

• Fertility

• Adequate Growth

• Above average eating quality

• Acceptable Saleable Beef Yields - muscle to bone ratio, even and adequate fat distribution

• Polled

• Survival - Tropical Adaption
