When the flood takes the herd, we help bring it back.
Adopt-A-Beast helps Queensland graziers restock livestock after flood, fire and drought. Every donation is tax deductible.
A family starting over. Again.
Between December 2025 and February 2026, floods at Julia Creek claimed more than 500 head of one family's cattle. They had spent years rebuilding after the 2019 floods. They are the newest family in our charity family, and they are not doing this alone.
Adopting a beast, in three steps.
A grazier's livestock is their livelihood. When a disaster wipes out the herd, the loss becomes the biggest barrier to recovery. That is the one gap we exist to close.
- 01
You give
Donate once, sponsor a beast, buy a raffle ticket or back an event as a business. Donations of $2 or more are tax deductible.
- 02
We source breeding stock
Adopt-A-Beast puts that support toward breeding livestock, the one thing insurance and grants rarely replace after a disaster.
- 03
A grazier rebuilds
Graziers apply through our assistance form. Replacement livestock goes to families rebuilding after flood, fire or drought.
Four ways to stand with a grazier.
Donate or sponsor a beast

Raffles and events

Join the mailing listFounded in July 2019 after floods swept through Julia Creek, Adopt-A-Beast is the only charity in Australia solely dedicated to livestock replenishment for farmers in need.
In a matter of days, livelihoods built over generations were washed away. We support Australian farmers when disaster strikes, whether it is flood, fire or drought, and we only fund one thing: post-crisis livestock regeneration.
Rebuild the herd. Restore the hope. Reclaim the future.
