Five Star Beef feedlot is 100% ANZCO Foods-owned. The
ownership structure offers market opportunities, with beef being
sold into Japan, the EU, Middle East and China, with markets
constantly growing.
The farm surrounding the feedlot is also ANZCO-owned and
is home to calves purchased from the North Island each year,
complementing the feedlot component of the business. Calves
are bought in at 230kgLW before they make their way to the
feedlot in late spring to early summer. South Island calves are
also bought in weighing 180-210kgLW, and those animals join
the feedlot slightly later.
The neighbouring farm is spread over 500ha. It grazes 600
calves and 400 ewes and is run by a manager. It also grows
maize, barley and silage used on the feedlot.
