Drought sees cattle giant cut herd numbers "aggressively" de-stock its Queensland Channel Country properties.

S Kidman and Co has properties on the Georgina, Diamantina and Cooper Creek systems, including Durham Downs in Queensland's far south-west and Sandringham further north near Bedourie.

Chief executive Greg Campbell says while a moderate flood earlier this year has helped, the drought is worsening in most south-west areas and cattle are still being moved out.
