This dual perspective — feed manufacturer and grazier — is core to how the business formulates products and advises customers. --- ## About — Family History and Story The Coleman family have a long history in the Northern Queensland beef industry, with several decades of experience in the grazing industries of Northern Australia. This experience is highly valuable in making the business so successful. The family's interest in stock feed manufacturing began on one of their cattle properties, with the making of cattle blocks for the home property and friends. As demand grew, the family purchased a block of land in Charters Towers in 1986 to open a factory and retailing outlet. The business was successful enough that in 1987 the family extended the factory to enable manufacturing of all stock and poultry feeds — not just cattle blocks. Since then, several upgrades and extensions have been made to both the factory and the retail shop to improve efficiency. As beef cattle producers themselves, the Colemans understand first-hand the challenges of rearing cattle in northern conditions. That real-world experience drives every product the business manufactures. Customer service and personal contact is central to how the business operates, alongside high-quality products and prompt, efficient service. Well-trained factory staff produce every custom mix to the highest standards. Coleman Stock Feeds is a major supplier of general and custom-mix stock feeds for Northern Australia. Located in the heart of the Queensland beef industry, the business supplies general farm products and custom-made loose licks and blocks throughout Queensland, the Northern Territory, and further abroad. Custom-made feeds are formulated specifically to suit the conditions of each customer's property and their stock's nutritional requirements — dry season, wet season, weaner mixes, and feeds for sheep, goats, horses, and pigs can all be manufactured to order. --- ## Products ### Lick Blocks Custom-formulated lick blocks including the signature **Basalt Block** and **Cape Block** ranges.
