Overview of the airfield hanger at Hayfield-Shenandoah Station, a 1.4 million acre cattle station owned by Justin and Sally Dyer. The station was developed by Justin’s parents, who settled here in the 1970s when there was only one building, no fences or waterholes. They run about 10,000 Brahman cows, for a total herd (cows, calves, weaners, and bulls) size of 27,000 cattle. The cattle live in near-wild conditions for most of the year, and are rounded up (“mustered”) by helicopter. They then separate out the one-year-olds for live export, from Darwin to Indonesia for Halal slaughter. They hire helicopter service and motorbike muster crew to gather their cattle on heavily tred terrain.
