About Us

Saddleback Pastoral Co.

The Batty family took over Coes Creek Droughtmasters in 2021 following the retirement of the Hayes’ after several decades of operation at the Wilsons Pocket property and Saddleback Pastoral Co evolved.

We have been fortunate to inherit superior quality generational bloodlines and an outstanding stud pedigree from the Hayes family.

Our Farm

Owned and operated by Wade & Anita Batty, assisted by their sons William & Oscar Batty the business is managed by Mark Torrens and his son, Adam Torrens.

Saddleback Pastoral Co. is passionate about advancing Droughtmaster genetics and improving our herds ability to deliver maximum value to fellow producers and supply chain stakeholders.

In an ever-changing marketplace, we believe staying ahead of the technology curve is a key pillar to a successful and prosperous operation.

Our Cattle

Saddleback Pastoral Co. operates a stud herd of 250 registered breeders on 550 acres at Wilsons Pocket. In order to maintain superior genetic integrity, the majority of our replacement females are bred on property, complimented by mutually beneficial commercial partnerships with other high quality Droughtmaster Stud breeders.
