Bindaree Beef celebrated 30 years in Inverell last week, growing into a cornerstone of the region that has supported long-term jobs, partnered with generations of cattle producers and contributed to the strength and resilience of the Northern Tablelands and New England.
More than $1.25 billion in wages has flowed from Bindaree Beef over the past 30 years into households, shops, schools and small businesses across Inverell and its surrounds – a reflection of their long-term commitment to local jobs, regional prosperity and rural communities.

Mr MacDonald says the quality of beef has significantly improved during the past 30 years, which has seen the product sent to many countries overseas.
