Edengarry Brafords continue to be run and bred on
the Edengarry property originally selected by Elwyn
Rea's ancestors back in 1902. The 20,000 acre property,
located approx 100 klms north of Rockhampton in Central
Queensland, is the home of Elwyn and his wife, Joanne
and Elwyn's mother, Betty. The stud herd of Edengarry
Brafords are run on this holding together with a large
commercial herd.
The 60,000 acre property Lambton Meadows was added to
the Rea Holdings in 1997. Located approx 50 klms from
Alpha, Lambton Meadows is the home of Andrew and Shannon
Rea and their daughter, Bridget. This property is utilised
for the commercial enterprise with bulls supplied by
the Edengarry stud.

The tyranny of distance didn't seem to bother the
Rea family when they added Aviemore Station at Muttaburra
to their holdings. This 24,000 acre property is located
approx 40 klms from the Muttaburra township, north of
Longreach and was added to the holdings in 2004. Steers
are sent there from weaning from the other two properties
as well as all cull cows.
Elwyn Rea has carried on his strong commitment to the
Braford breed by holding a position on the Australian
Braford Society Management Committee for almost 15 years
including 8 of those years as President and 3 as Treasurer.
He is currently the World Braford President, has judged
at a number of shows including the Brisbane Royal and
has been involved in a number of other beef industry
programs.
The Rea family don't restrict their business interests
to cattle breeding, they also hold interests in breeding
thoroughbreds in NSW and sell at the Magic Millions
and Sydney annually as well as real estate and the stockmarket.
In a unique offer for the Australian Beef Industry,
the principals of Edengarry Brafords are 'Standing Behind
the Product they Breed and Sell" by offering a unique
buy back program for breeders using Edengarry bulls.
