Rocky Downs has all the right attributes; bitumen road frontage, great access, the versatility to stand alone or complement existing operations, fresh pasture and most of all a central location for ease of management by central, southern or northern operators."
Rocky Downs Station is a centrally situated and well developed cattle station carrying a good fresh stand of grass and stylos. It is currently de-stocked.
Under the current ownership Rocky Downs has benefited from new fencing and water development. The secure water supply, both natural and developed is considered a strong feature that provides security in the most modest seasons.
The property will be sold bare of stock and plant. An added advantage of purchasing the property not stocked, is that it allows the purchaser the opportunity to move their own cattle onto the property immediately by negotiation.
The property can be described as flat to undulating with all parts usable. It ranges from timbered to open areas. It boasts a mix of soil types which provides an extensive variance in pastures. The property has an established mix of stylos throughout.
Rocky Downs Station provides the owner with an opportunity to either breed or background cattle for the easily accessible live export and store markets. It is carrying a good stand of feed currently that the owners say will conservatively carry 1250 to 1500 breeders or adult equivalent for the remainder of the year. Their estimate of long term carrying capacity is 2000 breeders or adult equivalent when removing the weaners from the property. The available feed provides an opportunity of increased numbers this year to assist in mitigating the ongoing dry in parts of Queensland.
Rocky Downs is a sound investment, as it not only appeals to those looking to secure grass but also the smaller standalone operators or the non-resident owner. It is well located and versatile and would be a valuable addition to an existing operation or equally to a person looking to start out in the industry.
It is described as an easy to manage property with sound improvements, good all year round access with a strong mix of country and pastures providing the benefit of versatility to any type of operation in any season.
