Square Meaters the new dimension in premium beef production
Square Meaters are a moderate framed Australian breed of beef cattle. They are perfectly suited to the highly variable Australian temperate climate. They have an ability to hold condition in hard times and flourish in normal conditions.
Their capacity to finish on grass allows breeders to lay claim to the cattle being a sustainable breed under Australian grazing conditions.
CONSISTENT PERFORMERS
Square Meaters were established as a breed to provide premium beef to the domestic market. Early maturity, heavy muscling and even fat cover are the genetic traits that allow the breed to consistently provide 8 to 9 month weaners of 225 – 275 kgs or 12 to 14 month yearlings of 380 – 420 kgs off grass, making them an ideal fit with the domestic market specifications and pasture fed assurance certification.

Keith Area School for the 2nd year running have prepared a pure bred Square Meaters steer owned and bred by Argio Park SM's with top results again.
AP Lucky placed 3rd in the Lightweight on the Hoof and Champion on the Hook with 85.50 points.
The Hoof points were combined with the Hook points to result in Argio Park Lucky being crowned the overall Champion on Hoof and Hook steer.
🏆Congratulations to Breeders Roelf and Georgina de Koning of Argio Park SM and Keith Area School.
It is pleasing to hear Roelf say, "a second school has booked a steer for next year and that the schools will look to Adelaide Royal too".
