Operation
The country is primarily comprised of rich basalt soils, with areas of granite country.
The property has been subdivided into 14 paddocks of varying sizes and no expense has been spared over the years with significant operational improvements making for a highly productive and efficient farming operation. Boasting management roads and 15 dams, there are two creeks, Hopes Creek and Native Dog Creek, crawling through the property. The property also features 1 x cattle yards, 1 x sheep yards, fencing upgrades with strategic laneway system and tree lines/wind breaks.
A holistic rotational cropping and improved pastures program is well supported by a comprehensive fertiliser and weed control program.
*Approximately 50-100 acres is sown to crops each year for finishing cattle/lamb. These paddocks are cropped for 2 years then sown down to improved pastures comprising a mix of chicory, cocksfoot, fescue, phalaris, ryegrass perennial, sub clover and white clover mix.
*Broad acre fertiliser applied on average every 2-3 years
*Boom sprayed/spot sprayed Tussock, Blackberry and Thistle control every year.
*Well maintained road network for management that travels through the middle of the property. The road has cattle grids installed at every paddock along the road for efficiency, along with double gates to the side for ease of mustering/equipment transport.
*Upgrade to a large portion of fencing over the years with laneway systems servicing large areas of the land.
