AUSTRALIA'S FINEST WAGYU BY LOTTE
LOTTE International owns and operates 'Sandalwood', one of Australia’s oldest and most awarded feedlots.
Our feedlot holds 16,000 head of cattle, and is run in conjunction with a 1,514 hectare of grazing and farming operation. Sandalwood Feedlot is located on Queensland’s Darling Downs and is 3 hours’ drive west of Brisbane.
Since LOTTE purchased Sandalwood in 2019, we have continued to improve our high-quality beef supply chain.
In addition to building the quality and value of our beef brand L'grow, we also offer a range of custom feeding services. We work closely with customers to achieve their feeding performance, carcase quality and financial goals.
We are committed to reduce our impact on the environmental protection and conserve our natural resources for the benefit of current and future generations. We have implemented strategies to increase renewable energy usage and reduce methane gas emission through innovative feed additives.
The facilities at Sandalwood Feedlot have been designed with animal comfort in mind. Every pen in the feedlot is under shade and has separate water and feed troughs. Cattle are monitored daily by our staff. We operate a hospital complex that is fully equipped for cattle treatment, and provides a low stress environment for recovery.
We work with consulting nutritionists to ensure we meet the needs of our cattle and carefully adjust their feed to match their stage of growth. We use barley as the primary feed ingredient, together with wheat, protein meal, and high-quality hay. We produce 10% of our feed requirements on our own farming land.
We continue to make investments to strengthen our beef supply chain in Australia. These investments include Wagyu genetics, feed production facilities, water resources, and cattle facilities and innovative IT projects.
