Cattlemen in Pearls introduces you to 28 remarkable Australian women, spanning three generations, whose love for the land and livestock is ingrained in their genetic profile. These powerful, surprising and moving mini-biographies recount tales of gritty determination, direst tragedy and glorious courage. We are given rare insight into how and what it’s like to start a cattle business from scratch; to run a successful stud enterprise; to manage a vast cattle station; to head a pastoral industry group and corporation.
The tough physical and emotional terrain of the bush, and strong family ties, play a role in each of these diverse, down-to-earth and sometimes heartbreaking stories. There are droughts, floods, emergencies, times of despair and loss, as well as hilarious antics, joyous gatherings and extraordinary stories of success.
For each of these thoroughly capable, warm-hearted women there is simply no other lifestyle choice. Cattlemen in Pearls is a compelling tribute to women in agriculture, specifically Australia’s beef industry.

Customer Reviews
excellent reading. and beautifully put together. recommend it to anyone interested in the rural industry.
I am a farmer's daughter and personally know two of the women in the stories and also Amanda Salisbury - one of the Creative team. To read about the life and achievements of these amazing women of our time is an inspiration to all women to aim high. It is so important that we have women like these living and working on the land.
I may be biased as I had the privilege of editing the 28 engrossing stories in this beautifully designed book - full design credit to Elspeth Baker of Plash Creative. The book is a work of art, a great read, and an inspirational mix of gutsy women who have no intention of living anything but a life they love, even though it contains hard work, hardships and hard times in amongst the incredible highs.
