Our story

1788. A year that makes the difference.

On January 26, 1788, Captain Arthur Phillip set foot on the rugged east coast of Australia. On board his fleet: six cows and a bull. What followed was no coincidence, but the beginning of a tradition. A tradition of care, patience, and craftsmanship in the art of cattle farming.

In the fertile lands of New South Wales, the animals found an environment that respected their natural rhythm. It was here that a vision grew. Not to produce as much meat as possible, but to create the very best. That philosophy lives on in 1788 Beef.

A brand built on values

1788 is more than just a name. It is a tribute to the beginning of something great. To the pioneering spirit of the past and the passion for quality today.

Our cattle live in harmony with nature, are given the time to grow, and are nourished with a carefully balanced grain diet. The result is beef that goes beyond taste alone. It tells a story of origin, tradition, and respect for the animal.
