Testimonials
During an incredibly challenging time for our family, Grant and his staff have demonstrated unparalleled professionalism and empathy. Managing the legacy of our family business of 55 years was no small task. Yet, he approached every step with genuine care, respect and dedication. Grant recognised that, apart from my Mum, our knowledge of cattle and the farming industry was limited. His support went beyond the professional realm, providing comfort and reassurance when we needed it most.
Grant possesses exceptional knowledge of the cattle industry, maintaining a deep understanding of both buying and selling in the market. His expertise allowed him to navigate market fluctuations with confidence and insight, always considering the bigger picture for us. What truly sets him apart is his commitment to developing and maintaining long-term plans that prioritise sustainable growth and success for his customers. He understands that success in the cattle business isn’t just about immediate gains but about building lasting value over time through strategic decision-making and careful market analysis.
Thanks to Grant's unwavering commitment, we achieved the best possible outcome for our parents’ life’s work. We are deeply grateful for his compassionate guidance and steadfast professionalism throughout this journey.

Hunter Stock and Land is a modern agency with traditional service that speaks to the changing needs of Hunter farmers.
I can’t speak highly enough of livestock consultant Shannon McCormack. Shannon is a livestock agent with heart and the level of support he provides surpasses the traditional agent’s approach.
Shannon accepts you for who you are and takes a strong interest in your vision, always mentoring you towards your goals.
What I value most is his unwavering support during tough times. Shannon invested a lot of time and energy into supporting me during one of the most difficult periods of my life. He kept showing up to help and picking up the phone to answer questions, give advice and encouragement. He’d also reach out to check in if he hadn’t heard from me.
His work ethic, strong agricultural background and previous experience across several roles in the farming industry, make him an asset to your business and your personal growth.
Shannon intently follows the cattle market and his connections help when sourcing suitable replacements to join the herd.
Hunter Stock and Land’s use of the Singleton Saleyards - an undercover venue that protects cattle from the elements and offers rainwater to drink and soft bedding to sit on - is a big drawcard for operators like us who want our cattle to receive the very best treatment.
The agency’s connection to reliable transport operators and other farming services, like agronomists and farm hands, gives you the opportunity to access the services you need at your fingertips and makes them a one-stop shop for cattle services.
Hunter Stock and Land is the team member on the farm you don’t have to pay every week.

As relative newcomers to the beef cattle industry, we found there was a lot we didn't know about stock management and some of the steps that can make a business flourish.
Shannon and the team at Hunter Stock & Land have helped us immeasurably in both the good times and through some of the not-so-good. We'd recommend them in a heartbeat.

I just wanted to say a big thank you to Shannon and the team at Hunter Stock and Land for their support this year. From sourcing cattle, delivering bulls and helping make hard decisions, they have been a reliable go to agent.
Shannon is also always willing to roll up his sleeves and help out in the yards and work with me, sorting cattle to deliver the best outcomes for my stock, my land and my back pocket. Thank you!

Being a small cattle producer I am always surprised at how generous the HSL team are with their time, expert advice and assistance with all things agribusiness and livestock sales.
Shannon calls regularly to provide market updates, drops in for a cuppa and a yarn and regularly offers advice on the best time to buy, sell and hold livestock. He has provided advice around general farm management and has helped us make changes to boost cashflow and turn over.
Being able to rely on someone local to buy cattle on our behalf has made such a difference to our small operation. Shannon knows what we can make money from on our country and arranges everything from inspection through to purchase and delivery.
It’s always a pleasure dealing with the HSL team and we are glad to do business with them.
— Jamie and Heather Maddocks, Vacy
Highly recommend Shannon from Hunter Stock and Land, we recently got in contact with him to help us source quality cattle and have been very happy with the outcome. He made sure he found the type and quality we were after, along with great communication along the way.
Thank you so much Shannon.
