Largely flat and well-fenced into 9 paddocks, the property has undergone extensive management to maximize productivity, with established mixed-species windbreaks and ongoing soil and pasture improvement program.

Treatment has been in accordance with soil tests conducted November 2024 on several sites across the property, to monitor soil health and productivity (tests available on request).
