UMBEARRA
STATION
Generations growing strong on desert country.
Located on the SA/NT border, Umbearra is our home base and the original property of the McKay family. The station covers approximately approx 3600 Km2, offering a diverse landscape of open granite country, mulga and spinifex ridges, gum-lined creeks, flood-out country and sandy hill country. We settled here in 1962, and I (Angus) represent the third generation to work the property.
​
Our herd is built around Red Angus genetics — a breed selected for fertility, growth. Drawing on decades of family experience and advice from rangeland specialists, we aim to run the station with a conservative stocking rate, so that the land remains productive and resilient.
​
At Umbearra we manage everything from breeding heifers and maiden cows to turning off heavy steers. Our track record reflects a deep respect for country, a keen focus on herd health and an understanding that sustainable management ensures longevity.
