COMMENTS:

A superbly located larger scale rural asset, the bulk of production sourced from the significant area of cash cropping land, and underpinned by a sizeable cattle breeding operation on the grass country and crop stubbles. For more focus on a cattle enterprise, forage crops could also be planted for growing out weaner cattle to feedlot entry weights or taken through to finished slaughter levels. All crops in the ground at the time of sale will be given in.
