Warragul Station Wagyu

Warragul Station Wagyu raises Wagyu cattle in Balnarring, VIC, on the Mornington Peninsula near Melbourne. Brian Johnston is committed to herd health through quarterly veterinary screenings, nutrition evaluations and breeding standards that favor structural soundness and consistent marbling.

Calves enjoy open pasture grazing with shelter during wet weather, early socialization and gentle, routine handling to foster calm, adaptable temperaments. Nutrition balances lush forage with tailored grain finishing and soil-based mineral supplements, and each animal is closely monitored to ensure steady growth and wellbeing. The farm collaborates with local agricultural networks and cattle breeders clubs to integrate updated animal welfare practices and robust traceability protocols.

Johnston’s personal attention and family background in cattle rearing guide a farm philosophy centered on transparency, respect for the animals and stewardship of the land. Buyers value the detailed records of lineage, feeding programs and health assessments that support a reliable quality journey from pasture to plate. Operations have evolved over more than a decade to refine breeding selection, herd management and finishing techniques that meet industry benchmarks.
