Sustaining our Legacy
Sustainability Through Continuous Improvement
Australian Country Choice operates a full beef cattle supply chain, across assets over several regions in Queensland. This means we are able to manage climatic conditions to support both animal nutrition and wellbeing, and land health, year-round.
Our ability and agility to grain feed and finish cattle supports product quality as well as continuous supply.
ACC’s sustainability framework
Covers, measures and reports on GHG emissions, natural capital, water and waste, animal health and welfare, as well as the safety and wellbeing of our people; with activities occurring daily across these pillars.
Sustainability at Every Stage
At LEGACY Wagyu, sustainability is not defined by a single initiative. It is the result of thousands of decisions made throughout the production journey, with a focus on responsible resource use, animal care and long-term thinking.
From the breeding program through to the feeding phase, every stage is designed to support consistent animal performance while continually improving efficiency across the supply chain.
Efficiency Through Genetics
Through ongoing genetic selection, the program places increasing emphasis on feed efficiency, helping identify cattle that can convert both grass and grain into high-quality beef more effectively.
More efficient cattle require fewer feed resources to achieve the same level of production, supporting sustainability outcomes.
maintaining the marbling, eating quality and consistency expected of premium Wagyu
Nutrition with Purpose
Carefully managed feeding programs minimise nutritional interruptions and support steady growth throughout an animal's life.
Consistent development not only benefits animal wellbeing and performance but helps maximise the value of every resource invested along the way.
Environmental management is incorporated into daily operations. At the feedlot, water runoff and manure are captured through sediment and effluent systems designed to manage and contain water within the operation.
Supporting the environmental standards required for accredited grain-fed beef production.
Sustainability is approached with a long-term mindset.
It is about making thoughtful decisions today that contribute to productive cattle, responsible resource use and an enduring future for Australian Wagyu.
