AGENT COMMENT
There are not too many properties in this area that are as safe in major rain events. The current owners have worked hard to successfully improve the two fundamentals that increase carrying capacity and these are water and pasture. Along with most waters being fenced with walk in walk out spears this property is being successfully run with minimal labour inputs.
If you are looking to complement a fattening property with a breeder block or a breeder block to take cattle straight to live export an inspection would be highly recommended.
