Earning Capacity
At “Brigalow “Research station, economic analysis demonstrated that the Belmont herd produced 20% more income than the Hereford herd and 12% more than the Simmental herd.
Weight Of Calf Weaned Per Cow Mated
Economic Value
“CRC” (Cooperative Research Centre for Beef Genetic Technologies) trial: An economic analysis showed that replacing Brahmans in the Northern herds with a highly adapted Composite with high fertility, high carcase and meat quality, and docility like the Belmont, would increase gross margins by up to $24 per adult equivalent when grass fed, and up to $76/adult equivalent when grain finished. In contrast a rotational crossbreeding program using Brahmans would only increase gross margins by $7.
In Conclusion
In harsh and benign environments Belmont cows were more efficient for weaning weight production than British and Brahman crosses. In the North using the Belmont would be less complicated and more profitable than a rotational crossbreeding program.
Meat Quality
Marbling (IMF %) in the NORTH
Belmonts have the best marbling, and surpassed even the Angus under pasture and feedlot conditions in the North.

Belmont Red Crowned Champion at Brisbane’s Prestigious Best Breed Competition
Grass-fed home grown 4 year old Bellevue Belmont Red steer
At Brisbane’s legendary The Norman Hotel, beef is taken seriously.
Each year, the iconic steakhouse hosts its highly anticipated Best Breed competition — a blind tasting event designed to determine which cattle breed delivers the ultimate eating experience on the plate.
And in 2025, the result could not have been closer.
In a dramatic finish, just one single point separated the top two contenders. After the final votes were counted, it was the Belmont Red that emerged victorious, taking out the title for flavour, tenderness, juiciness, and overall eating quality.
The win is a significant moment for the Belmont Red breed and a powerful reminder that cattle bred for Australian conditions do not have to compromise on eating performance.
