About
Wakefield has been in the Frizell family since our Irish ancestors first settled here in the 1860s. The property holds a proud family tradition of hard work, persistence and success and that is reflected in the cattle that run here today.
Wakefield is located near Wollomombi, which is a small village about 40km from Armidale on the NSW Northern Tablelands. With an altitude of 980m, the winters here are brisk and we have an average of over 90 frosts per year. The cattle are well acclimatised to extremes of temperature ranging from -12*C in the winter to 40*C in the summer. Our long term average rainfall of 930mm has been far less in recent years and drought conditions have really tested the fertility and doability of our herd, but we are proud to say that these conditions have only made our cattle better than ever. We currently run a herd of 300 registered Charolais females and 150 Angus breeders.
