Production & Planning Manager – Beef Operations

About Us:

Ravensworth Agriculture is one of Australia's most progressive agribusinesses, family-owned and operated by the Harris Family in the fertile Riverina region of NSW. We run a 50,000-head cattle feedlot, currently expanding to our licensed capacity of 100,000 SCU — making this the largest feedlot in the country.

We're a business that backs innovation. From automation and technology in the feedlot to our vertically integrated supply chain, we combine traditional agricultural know-how with modern systems and a genuine appetite for doing things better.

Our EKO Wagyu brand is the product of that approach — premium long-fed Wagyu combining elite Japanese genetics with Australian innovation, now sold into premium export markets across Europe, Asia and beyond. Joining Ravensworth means being part of a paddock-to-plate operation with a growing global footprint.

With major expansion underway, there has never been a more exciting time to build your career with us. We offer genuine opportunity for growth, exposure to large-scale operations, and the backing of a family business that invests in its people and its future.
