The property is situated in the North Burnett area of Queensland 50 kms north west of Eidsvold and 40 kms SW of Monto. A herd of 800 females runs on the granite breeding country surrounding Boogalgopal Creek with the balance of country being forestry lease.
The property also incorporates 3500 acres scrub fattening country on adjacent blocks, “Glenrock” and “Glenleigh”.

History
Official registration of BOOGALGOPAL BRAHMAN Stud No 1129 was made by Tex in 1973 with the prime objective being the production of replacement bulls for the breeding herd. This remains a major thrust of the stud today, with a large percentage of stud and herd bulls also being retained each year for paddock sales to the public.
Boogal Beef, carrying the distinctive T+X brand, is produced in a chemical -free environment with both the commercial herd and breeding bulls 100% grass fed in the paddock .When paddock conditions demand it, a mineral supplement is provided to the stock…and of course , normal vaccinations are carried out for Lepto.
Our commitment to, and love of the cattle industry, covers many generations, with our two daughters Bec and Emma also strongly involved in agriculture and beef production.
