About Us
The partnership between Damien and Alison brings together decades of experience in seed stock and commercial livestock production and combines their passions.
​
Damien has an in-depth knowledge of the practical aspects of beef cattle breeding for long term sustainability and profitability. He has been breeding seedstock and commercial beef cattle for over 35 years.
Damien has worked extensively in Australia as a genetics consultant and assisted reproduction service provider. Damien has travelled extensively throughout Australia, the US, Canada and NZ, inspecting bulls and breeding operations, learning how to integrate genetics and breeding technologies into clients’ herds.
Alison grew up on a family property at Dunedoo, home of a respected Merino stud. Whilst running her own commercial first cross lamb production enterprise, Alison has developed her holistic cropping and pasture management skills to a level where she has a thorough understanding of grass production and soil management for long term sustainability, optimising animal fertility and production.

Breeding Philosophy
The application of theory, technology, objective measurement and genomic advances are used to optimise our HY Angus herd.
​
Paying respect to HY’s foundation genetics, Millah Murrah features heavily, with strategic additions of Yamba and JT Angus to build scale and depth of families.
​
Constantly striving to improve our herd with elite genetics, we will not compromise on the fundamentals - fertility and maternal function, production, structure and docility.
​
HY Angus is in a unique position of having detailed knowledge of fertility and production theory coupled with practical application in modern Australian beef production systems.
HY Angus strives to improve the effectiveness of modern Angus bulls for improved profitability in our client’s herds.
We strive to know our clients to provide them with genetic packages that are fit for their purpose. Damien can offer selection advice to help meet your breeding objectives.
