About Us

With more than 100 years of experience in the stockfeed industry, Castlegate James is your trusted supplier of a complete range of innovative and tailored stockfeed products. In September 2010 Castlegate James Australasia Pty Ltd was formed from a merger of 3 companies; James & Son Australia Pty Ltd, James & Son New Zealand Pty Ltd and Castlegate VGS Pty Ltd. Both James & Son companies were fully owned affiliates of  James & Son (Grain Merchants) Ltd UK, while Castlegate VGS was an Australian private company.

The foundations of the Castlegate James business date back to the establishment of James and Son (Grain Merchants) Ltd in the UK in 1850 and Victoria Grains Stores Pty Ltd (VGS) in Australia in 1923 with both businesses initially selling brewers grains to dairy farmers. Today, the company is managed by a progressive leadership team that draws upon years of specialised industry experience with a trading platform of providing farmers innovative, ‘value adding’ stockfeed options.

Our extensive product range is backed by a nutritionally trained sales force with a national distribution and manufacturing capability.
