About Kurra-Wirra Pastoral Pty

Generations in the Making. Measured to Perform. Bred to Adapt. Tried, Tested, Trusted. Kurra-Wirra is a leading intergenerational farming business, renowned for its breeding of Merinos, Red Angus, Angus and Slick Angus cattle. For six generations, the family has excelled in livestock breeding and farm management. Together, Robert and Bernadette Close expanded Kurra-Wirra while raising their children — Christopher, Simon, Anthony, Michael, and Anna-Grace — on the land. Bernadette, who passed away in 2022, left a profound impact through her dedicated support in nursing and farm administration. Today, Robert, along with his sons Simon, Anthony and Michael steer Kurra-Wirra as managing directors. They all share a deep passion for their land and livestock, actively contributing to all facets of the business. Under Robert’s mentorship, whilst nurturing their own families, they are committed to preserving the family vision of “An intergenerational farming business that looks after its people, animals and the environment”. Our breeding program harnesses high-performing genetics from the world’s premier sires, producing cattle that excel in carcase quality, fertility, calving ease and temperament. Our cattle thrive in all environments, particularly the warmer northern climates thanks to our innovation in integrating the Senepol heat-resistant gene into our Red Angus and Angus herd. Our involvement in the TransTasman Angus Cattle Evaluation (TACE), The Leachman $Profit analysis, and the use of genomics, gives us the confidence to continuously refine our herd based on comprehensive performance data, ensuring excellence in every generation. The primary aim at Kurra-Wirra is to produce market focused bulls that enhance the beef industry and improve the profitability of our clients.
