Sold
This quality farm was purchased and converted by two experienced and passionate dairy farmers in 2007. There are many features of this property which include a fully automated 72 bail rotary dairy shed, entry and exit lanes like highways and soon to be a new 450 cow composting Smart Shelter.
The flat contour, reliable soil types and excellent access throughout the farm makes this easier to manage given the farms' large scale. Water is provided from a bore, with many paddocks having two troughs. Substantial calf rearing facility, workshop, and five homes in total. 1,440 cows are wintered off the property and this season currently milking 1,300 cows with an estimated production of 530,000kg MS.
