COMPANY
Tipperary Group of Stations is owned and operated through a strategic partnership between the Booloomani Corporation and Branir Pty Ltd. Booloomani Coporation is comprised of a group of strategic investors with a clear appreciation for the strong potential of northern Australian agriculture. Branir Pty Ltd is owned by prominent barrister and businessman Allan Myers QC AC.
Fodder production is currently the major farming enterprise carried out at Tipperary Station. We produce premium quality Rhodes grass hay under centre-pivot irrigation, and dry-land jarrah grass hay on a large scale. In addition to hay production, the station is also home to several thousand mango trees, and the Group is also exploring many opportunities for cropping production.
CATTLE
Cattle breeding and backgrounding are the main enterprises at the Tipperary Group of Stations (TGS). The production system is centred on Brahman cattle, a tropical breed that is very well suited to north Australian conditions. With huge areas of recently developed pastures and access to the fertile Litchfield floodplain, the Group enjoys capacity to carry one of the Territory’s largest cattle herds.
TGS is highly committed to Animal Welfare standards to ensure all animals in the Group’s custody are treated humanely. All employees that work with animals are experienced in the humane handling of stock and are trained in accordance with company policies and procedures.

At Tipperary Station School, students enjoy access to a comfortable classrooms and excellent sporting facilities such as a swimming pool, indoor and outdoor tennis courts, a basketball court and a large gym. The school is run by a dedicated Teaching Principal and a Teacher’s Assistant. All students attending the school live on the station and at present all year levels are taught in the one classroom.
MARKETS & EXPORTS
​As well as the traditional live-export markets of Indonesia, Vietnam and Malaysia, we are also looking to develop new markets for cattle, fodder and other commodities.
