Benvarden Stud began in 1990 with both Miniature
Horses and Braford Cattle. As numbers increased we moved to
our present 800 acre property between Ipswich and Boonah in
Queensland.
The goals for both cattle
and horses remain the same as we grow. By improving the quality
of sires and dams, and precise recording of our progress, we
are confident we are moving closer to the types of horses and
cattle we want to breed.
Our 2 bulls are Sunnylawn
Overlander and Carinya Index. These bulls were purchased in
2006 and 2007 at the annual Braford Society Sale in Rockhampton.
Our first drop of Overlander calves arrived this Spring and
we are eagerly awaiting our first Index progeny in Spring 2008.
Ratara's High Roller (32"
palomino) and Flying Dust Sirocco (33.75" black appaloosa)
are our resident stallions. Although different, both are leggy
horse types, and both leave their mark on their progeny. With
a selection of coloured mares, the foals are a variety of colours
(solid, dilute and spotted) and conformation is getting better
and better.
