The first Brahman bull used at Alanray/Billabong was by Wairuna Tom and he was mated to red Shorthorn Cows from Natal Downs in 1959/1960.

Some early sires were used from Avondale and Mimosa. About the same time a draft of both red and grey cows were purchased from Ossie Clark, Allawah, Banana. Females also came from Banyak Suka, Tartrus and Cherokee Studs.
