The Gilmandyke Stud name, drawn from the famous creek that ran through the Batemans first property in Triangle Flat began in 1971. Gilmandyke name has been known in the stud stock industry for over 50 years.

Highly successful in winning Hordern All Breeds Trophies in both Murray Greys and Charolais as well as success in Salers and now Angus cattle the family still operates Gilmandyke Pastoral covering over 5 holdings across the Central West of N.S.W.

Our farming philosophy is quite simple as we strive to produce sustainable, high quality livestock, protein and fibre across all our farming operations. In doing this we look to optimise efficiency while never compromising quality.

Belinda Bateman and her late husband Edmund started their rural enterprise in Triangle Flat before expanding over the following decades.

Today our operations include seed stock cattle, commercial cattle, cropping, Merino and Prime lamb production.

We understand the importance agriculture plays in the Australian economy. We believe production should push the limits of economic and genetic gain whilst ensuring the lands and environments on which we farm are sustainably managed.

With an agricultural background and formal qualifications in horticulture Belinda has always believed we have a responsibility to care for the land, increasing tree cover, controlling weeds, efficient water uses and improving pastures and carrying capacity.
