About Larry Cutler

35 years managing stud and commercial beef cattle for family businesses and corporate companies. During this time I successfully bred prepared and exhibited stud cattle at Sydney , Canberra and Melbourne Royals resulting in numerous Championships in Murray Grey , Charolais , Angus , Red Angus and Gelbvieh breeds.

I have been involved in exporting live cattle and genetics (semen and embryos) to Cuba, China, New Zealand and Canada. I have also imported semen and embryos from USA , Canada and New Zealand. As a judge I have judged at every Royal Show in Australia as well as Internationally at New Zealand Royal twice and USA and Canada. I have also judged at the Beef expo in Rockhampton.

I competed in many steer and carcase competitions winning 93 championships. My sons want me to keep going and try to win 100. I do a lot of assessing of cattle and was asked to assess the steers at the recent Farm World steer trial. I have also selected 4 champion steers for the Hereford Society to try to win the Borthwick trophy at Melbourne Royal Show.

Karraba Park Australian Stock Horse Stud. I now breed Australian Stock Horses on a small property nestled into the foothills of the Mount Baw Baw Ranges. We are currently standing 2 stallions at stud and we breed 5-6 foals of our own each year. We sell those foals to homes that utilise our genetics to Campdraft, polocrosse and pony club as well as show and challenge horses.

I am an open campdraft judge and a National Judging Assessor for the Stock Horse Society. I have judged horses of all breeds at every Royal in Australia as well as State Championships and State campdraft championships.

I spent 6 years managing stockfeed companies and 2 years teaching Diploma of Agriculture and Equine studies.

I really enjoy my job as Territory Manager for Performance Feeds as it allows me to meet and interact with a broad number of farmers from one end of Gippsland to the other. Gippsland is such a diverse area extending from Melbourne east to the NSW border and from Bass Straight to the Snowy Mountains. I look after Beef cattle both stud and commercial in intensive to larger production scales. Gippsland is known for its dairy , beef and Merino sheep depending on your area.

I am working with a number of stores to promote the sale of our bagged products and have made myself available to attend and speak on the benefits of our products. I also attend the East Gippsland Field days to grow the business in the East. Farm World is the biggest promotion in the West Gippsland area.
