Cattle and sheep stations for sale review
In farming parlance, a station is a large landholding used for producing livestock, predominantly cattle or sheep, that need an extensive range of grazing land. If you are looking to buy a station, GoRegional has an excellent selection of stations for sale.
Originally station referred just to the homestead – the owner's house and associated outbuildings of a pastoral property – but it now generally refers to the whole holding. Stations in Australia are on Crown land pastoral leases.
Stations are predominately focused on a particular livestock production and as result are known colloquially as sheep stations or cattle stations as most are stock specific, dependent upon the country and rainfall. However, in areas where water is more plentiful through irrigation and water licences some stations will diversify into cropping. The owner of a station is called a pastoralist or a grazier.
Geographically there are stations for sale throughout Australia with QLD, WA, NT, SA, NSW and VIC all having large areas occupied by this agricultural grazing land. They are normally situated in inland Australia and the central regions of most states.
