Why Wormbete?
Genetics that deliver
Our focus at Wormbete is to breed structurally sound, fertile, calm‑tempered and early‑maturing cattle with strong maternal traits.
Commercial Focus
Our cattle are bred to deliver in real‑world conditions, demonstrating strong growth, resilience in dry seasons, and proven profitability to the end user.
Enduring heritage
One of the first to bring Simmental to Australia, we continue the legacy of Henry Hopkins, combining experience with a clear vision for the future.
Our Stud Philosophy
Breed balanced, fertile, robust, easy doing, structurally sound and commercially relevant Simmental cattle that are proven for longevity and performance.
Uphold the principles of integrity, honesty and transparency in our actions, and in our liaison with clients and other breeders.
Responsibly manage our land, soil and water with a focus on livestock health and efficient and productive management.
Be pleased but not complacent, focused but with vision, educated but still willing to learn.
