Our Mission

To bring the effective use of marketing and information technology to the Australian Stud Stock sector that’s innovative, demonstrates value and is highly regarded.

Our role in Stud Stock Marketing

Good bulls don’t sell themselves.

You have the best pen of sale prepared bulls ticking all the right boxes, structurally correct, great weight for age, demonstrated genetics and you know they are just what the commercial cattle producer needs. If the buyer doesn’t know about them or you can’t fill seats at a sale they just won’t sell- or if they do not for what they should.

A cattle stud operation and brand is just like any other business whether its Coca-Cola, Uber, Realestate.com, Ford or Toyota. Just like any other customer commercial cattle producers need visibility of your brand to understand what differentiates you from your competitors and where and how your cattle can be purchased. Our role at Studstockmarketing is to launch, develop and maintain your brand to:

1. Increase your clearance rate and sale average; and

2. Develop your stud reputation to achieve your business and life goals.

Managing Director

Steven Manwill

Steven Manwill has over twenty five years experience in a diverse and interesting career in Information Technology, Business Consulting and Cattle Stud Operations. Steven predominantly grew up in Yarraman and Rockhampton but has since worked at Bundaberg Roma, Mount Isa, Brisbane and of course Biarra where his stud operation is located. Steven’s experience has included managing in excess of 80 staff and $20 million of Information Technology expenditure per year, owning and operating a cattle stud for ten years, supporting Corporate, Small Business and Agricultural clients to improve their profitability and part owning a successful National Training Organisation for eighteen years.

Although now primarily based in Brisbane and the Brisbane Valley, Steven grew up in Regional Queensland. He fell in love with everything farming and cattle related on his grandfather’s mixed farming operation at Kingaroy where he spent most of his holidays as a child. Although his parents didn’t own or operate a farm, his grandparents did, as did their parents and so on. Like others, when cattle and farming are in your blood, you can’t just take it out- you don’t want to either and Steven is no different.

Steven is passionate about Stud Stock Marketing as it brings together his combined interests of business and marketing, beef production and people from the country who he prefers spending his personal and work time with. Steven has a Bachelor of Business and Industry Certified Qualifications in Program and Project Management.
