This property has been caringly farmed with methods that will support a sustainable future. Currently 3800 sheep are being carried while at times reaches a peak of 5000. The feedlot has been extensively used by the current owners as their preferred farming model.
The feedlot is suitable for the practice of deferred grazing to allow the pastures to become established after opening rains. The cropping areas have been re-shaped in to large paddocks to suit modern equipment. Clovers are strongly present in all pasture paddocks with good grazing available along creek lines and through tree plantations, laneways are diligently positioned over the farm including the central laneway providing easy access to the adjoining leased 290ha plot that is for sale coinciding with the sale of this property and overall making quite a large well presented package.
