Dales Angus

About

Dales Angus is located in Merriwa – a town in New South Wales’ Upper Hunter Shire, approximately forty-five minutes from Scone. Situated in the shadow of the Liverpool Ranges on 10,000 acres of undulating pasture, selected crops, and the dark, rich basalt soil of the Gumman Valley, our farm provides an ideal environment in which to breed and raise superior quality Angus. Formed in 1958, when members of the AB&B Bettington partnership dissolved and divided their Coolie Property, Dales is steeped in heritage. Here, the famously successful Bettingtons accumulated and developed the most exceptional farming and grazing properties in the Merriwa district. Dales remained in the care of the Bettington family until 2015, when we – the Murrays – bought it. Originally established as some of the best sheep grazing country in the nation, our district is now primarily devoted to cattle grazing.
