Our Farmer

Kent and Michelle are passionate farmers who own and operate K&M Farming, a family-run cattle operation in Manypeaks, just north-east of Albany in Western Australia’s pristine Great Southern region. Surrounded by towering karri trees and lush, fertile pastures, their farm benefits from reliable annual rainfall, rich soils and one of the state’s longest grass-growing seasons, providing the ideal environment for raising exceptional Black Angus cattle.

Drawing on generations of farming knowledge and a commitment to continuous improvement, Kent and Michelle have built K&M Farming into a leading grass-fed, grass-finished beef operation. Their cattle are raised on diverse pastures using intensive rotational grazing practices that prioritise animal welfare, pasture recovery, soil health and long-term environmental stewardship.

Innovation is at the heart of everything they do. From rotational grazing systems and diverse multi-species pasture programs to modern livestock management technology, the Rochester family is continually refining their farming practices to improve both productivity and sustainability. Their calm, low-stress handling methods ensure their cattle are raised naturally and with the highest standards of care.

Each year, K&M Farming supplies Grazed Valley Beef with more than 100 premium grass-fed, grass-finished Black Angus cattle. Raised without the use of antibiotics or added hormones and free to roam on nutrient-rich pastures, their beef reflects the quality of the land it comes from, delivering outstanding flavour, tenderness and consistency in every cut.

At Grazed Valley Beef, we’re proud to partner with Kent and Michelle from K&M Farming, who share our commitment to transparency, ethical farming and producing exceptional beef. Together, we’re providing a true paddock-to-plate experience, connecting families directly with Western Australian farmers and the people who produce the beef on their plate.
