'Oak Park' was named in 1905 for the groves of Casuarina glauca,or Swamp oak, that occur here.
BILLARR BILLARR in some native dialects means 'many oaks'.
It is in the middle of dairy farming country on the acid sulphate, river flat soils of Broughton Creek,
a tributary of the lower Shoalhaven River. The town of Berry is about 3km to the north.
The pastures are mostly kikuyu, paspalum, rye grasses with lotus and various clovers and some carpet grass.
We aim to produce quiet females of good confirmation that live long productive lives
and produce growthy calves. They are a good basis for either stud or cross-breeding purposes. 
Our herd consists of 100-120 head depending on the time of year and the season.
The herd has developed since 1991 with input from several studs, in particular Mundi Mundi.
In 1996 we became a Registered herd and eventually had four years of enjoyable showing.
The Registered herd continues and we are currently trialling Gelbvieh by A.I. for cross breeding.
We also have examples of crosses with Hereford in the herd.

In about 1820 the Squires in East Anglia were attempting to introduce new breeds of cattle from other parts of England,
their tenant farmers developed their own breed as a reaction against this imposition by their landlords.
This breed became known as the Red Poll, cattle that were adapted to producing both milk and good vealer/yearlings
for the new industrial towns.  In Australia in recent years they have been developed as a beef breed.

Red Polls have become recognised as producers of excellent beef both as pure breds and cross-breds.
The breed has had considerable success in recent carcass competitions and is adaptable to a wide range of environments.
On small farms their quiet temperament and moderate size makes them easily managed while at the same time producing excellent carcasses of marketable size.
