LOCATED: Approx 15 km from Molong on the sealed Euchareena road, 50 km from Orange just 10 minutes from Molong and approx half an hour from Orange.
COUNTRY: Positioned at around 600m altitude, the property is all level to undulating, cleared open and mostly arable. Soils comprise red/brown loams mostly clean of rocks, but with some exposed rocks on the edge of ridges. The property has been used for cattle breeding and fattening, with more recently devoted to finishing calves bred on a nearby property. Pastures comprise approx 80% native and 20% improved. Almost all of the property is well cleared with only the odd shade tree remaining, but there is a small sheltered area of original timber at one end. This open versatile country lends itself to farming or grazing breeding or fattening.
CURRENT OPERATING SYSTEM: A well established cell grazing operation has been in place for the last 12 years. There are a series of 4 cells of wagon wheel design centred on water troughs, providing 48 smaller paddocks in total (average paddock size is 7.43 ha or approx 18 acres). The system has been set up to work with minimal management, and has functioned well for many years.
IMPROVEMENTS: 4 bedroom timber and tile roof house (approx 1940's), good steel cattle yards with crush and loading ramp, plus a couple of smaller sheds. The house is currently rented.
WATER: 5 dams, although the current operating system has been virtually fully utilising the bore/tanks/trough system. A reliable 2,000 gal per hour rated bore pumps to 2 concrete tanks (24,000 gals and 10,000 gals) which gravity feed to troughs servicing all paddocks.
FENCING: The property comprises 5 main paddocks with conventional fencing, which have been further subdivided into single electric wire cells 48 paddocks in all. If cell grazing was not going to be continued, these internal cell fences could be quite easily removed. A laneway runs down to the cattle yards, facilitating ease of stock movement.
TOTAL AREA: 341.82 hectares (845 acres)
