Benchmarking
Manchee Ag is committed to benchmarking their cattle against other industry leaders.
We have continually chosen to enter the industry leading competitions over the last 20 years. It is the greatest chance to benchmark your progress against that of your peers.
We have continually monitored each animal we breed and rank that performance against that of our whole herd. If they are not up to standard, they are out.
Manchee Ag - Family Owned & Operated
Manchee Ag is owned and operated by John & Liz Manchee and is based on the namoi river with the beautiful Nandewar Ranges as a backdrop. We have been producing beef since 1947.

Manchee Ag comprises of the Yamburgan Shorthorn Stud, Wilgaroon Santa Gertrudis Stud and our very own developed Durham Tropicals. We believe that any one of these breeds are able to survive and adapt to any part of the Australian climate and environment whilst returning the maximum return for the producer.
Yamburgan Shorthorns was established in 1947 by John's grandfather, John Stewart Manchee. Yamburgan has 750 stud and commercial breeders.
Wilgaroon was established in 1994 and has gone on to be of influence in the breed with regards to commercial and show success. Wilgaroon comprises of 100 purebred cows.
Durham Tropicals were the brain child of John and Liz's over the last 10 years and has developed in to an integral part of the business. Durham Tropicals are a stabilised breed consisting of roughly 50% each of Shorthorn and Santa Gertrudis genetics. There are currently 250 cows in this operation.
We also breed Australian Stock Horses. The Wallah stud was established by John's father, Lionel, in the early 1960's primarily to breed station horses. John & Liz actively keep the horses operations going to ensure the stockmen have quality horses to ride.
