Tim Rudduck is born and bred in the escparpment area of the Lockyer Valley and has a lifetime of experience in rural property management.
After acquiring a Diploma of Beef Cattle Production at Longreach Pastoral College, Tim has continued his education by working and caretaking on properties across a range of agricultural industries including the beef, pig and sheep industry. Through this and in owning his own properties and a ‘Paddock-to-Plate’ business, Tim has earned hard-won experience and expertise in pasture and property improvement.
To ensure he is providing the most up-to-date advice specific to your property, Tim maintains good relationships with the Department of Agriculture & Fisheries in Toowoomba and regularly consults with them to keep up with new information and products in weed and lantana control, along with recent research on woody weed control and pasture management.
Tim has a passion for the outdoor rural lifestyle, has a respect for our natural environment, and enjoys working with land-owners to achieve their goals in property improvement.
Tim lives on his Lockyer Valley property with his partner, his cattle and her horses, where they enjoy progressively less lantana in their paddocks.
