Stone Axe Pastoral is a vertically integrated Wagyu beef business with a clear purpose - to produce the finest quality Wagyu beef from paddock to plate.

We are committed to excellence in animal welfare, performance, and sustainability. Our premium Wagyu brands are recognised globally for their consistency, quality and provenance, underpinned by world-class production systems and a values-driven culture.

A true end to end role, you will own the optimisation of backgrounding, feedlot induction and finishing, feedlot/backgrounding‐supplier relationships and performance, commodity/ration management, transport and logistics, data capture & compliance, carcass feedback and strategic forward planning of herd flows and network footprint (feedlots & processing).

Working as a strategic partner, you will define and drive value-add opportunities that create cost efficiency, productive kilos, reduces kilometres travelled, and embeds sustainability into the chain. You will partner with our on-farm Operations team to support compliance, data collection and SOP implementation. You will be instrumental in the creation of the “ideal network” of backgrounding, feedlot and processing footprint to meet budget and market requirements.
