Rennylea - The Future in Livestock Scholarship
Charles Sturt University
RENNYLEA Angus is a family grazing business based in the Murray Valley in Southern NSW. Settled by the Corrigan family in 1870, Ruth and Anthony Corrigan are the fifth generation of the Corrigan family to work in the business, working with their parents, Bryan and Lucinda Corrigan. Angus cattle were introduced to Rennylea in 1952, Bryan commenced artificial breeding in the herd in 1974, and Rennylea Angus was enrolled in Group Breedplan when it commenced in 1985. Today there are 1,500 cows in the herd, and a total of 3,500 cattle on 7 properties located at Bowna and Culcairn. The Rennylea herd vision is to be a supplier of elite genetics that meets customers’ needs in a quality driven, profitable and ethical value chain.
