Stuart (Stu) commenced with Elders in 2016 and is a Livestock Agent and Auctioneer based at Elders Kingscote. He supports livestock producers on Kangaroo Island.
Twelve years ago, Stuart moved to Kangaroo Island with his family, after travelling and managing properties in Australia’s pastoral industry. They loved the place and put down roots, buying a run-down 145 hectare property. Stuart returned to a role as a stock agent with Elders, joining an active team that includes people specialising in livestock, wool, real estate and insurance.
On the weekends, Stuart began developing his cattle property nestled in the Macgillivray region, 30 minutes from Kingscote – the island’s largest centre – where Stuart commutes to the Elders office.
The property’s predominantly open landscape boasts a treelined creek with sugar gums and pink gums, where Stuart now runs 60 breeders. He started with an Angus base, crossbred with Black Simmentals and then began crossing over to Speckle Park.
