The farms are located approx. 15 km north of Biloela and 135 km south of Rockhampton. The average annual rainfall for this area is 28 inches.
The 3 properties are currently managed as one enterprise which is based around a well established chaffing business within Central Queensland specializing in the production of oaten and wheaten chaff as well as lucerne chaff. The farms produce all the hay required with surplus cropping used for winter grains and summer forages. They also run cattle maintaining approx. 130 breeders turning off the majority of the progeny at late weaner stage.
The farms are within very close proximity to each other with good access by bitumen and gravel roads. Due to the soil types of the properties being predominantly well drained alluvial loamy soils this enables diversification into both farming and grazing operations.
The township of Biloela can supply all the services the farms require whether they be for the family, farming, or grazing needs. Rockhampton to the north can also supply the relevant services.
