About us

Greswick Angus commenced after the restructuring of the family farm business at Seaham and is now owned and managed by John and Janelle Spearpoint with involvement from their two sons Hayden and James.

The home property 'Hilmont' is located along the Williams River at Seaham in the lower Hunter Valley of New South Wales and has been farmed by the same family since the late 1800's. Preserving this rich rural heritage was important for John and Janelle, so after initially pursuing corporate careers, returned to live on the family farm to redevelop the property and its core commercial Angus herd.

With a medical science background, John refocussed these skills into understanding soils and pasture along with livestock production systems that would be capable of sustaining their capital investment into farming. Janelle, with a background in business and marketing allowed them to feel at home directly marketing livestock out of the paddock.

Their attention to detail and a clear focus on balancing environmental sustainability within a farming system has been the envy of many. In 2005 they were selected as a Best Management Practice (BMP) property and have conducted numerous field days and farm tours to showcase their sustainable farming practices.

Growth in the production of quality Angus livestock has seen the business develop into a herd now operating on several properties within the Hunter Valley of NSW. Both the stud and commercial arms of their business have expanded to supply pasture reared Angus bulls, replacement heifers and weaners for backgrounding throughout the year.
