Sussex Farm

Sussex Farm, located on Gibb Road, Red Hill, operates as a prime beef vealer agricultural enterprise. Second generation beef farmer David Gibb, his wife Beryl, and their daughters Lucinda and Harriet run “Sussex Farm” on the river flats and rolling hills overlooking Port Phillip and are proud to be part of the vibrant agricultural sector on the Mornington Peninsula.

Angus/Friesian cows are crossed with Belgian Blue bulls to produce calves that are ¾ beef. The mothers, being half dairy, can keep up a vast supply of milk to their calves. Hay and silage are conserved on farm in the spring each year and fed back to the animals the following winter.

No hormones or other growth promotants are administered to the animals.

All livestock graze on only the natural improved pastures of perennial rye grass, clovers and sub-clovers at “Sussex Farm”.
