Beef industry

In Towong Shire, we're widely recognised for our quality beef production.

About the industry

Beef makes up around half our annual economic output and contributes significantly to our local economy and employment. Our region is home to a number of small to medium enterprises, which typically contain 50-200 cattle per herd.
