This well developed 126 hectare dairy property boasts the best of all worlds in pasture based dairy farming. Located on the high production loam flats of Brittons Swamp, which is located only 18km west of Smithton, in a 12-1300mm rainfall belt. Approximately 85% of the property is Hump and Hollowed converted swamps and the remainder slightly undulating hill country. 67 hectares of the flats are irrigated with a Centre Pivot that is fed from a 150,000 litre per hour bore. In recent seasons the property has been milking approximately 350 cows with a minimal grain input with the 2014/15 production totalling approximately 115,000 kgs milksolids. The farm boasts a best season’s production of 130,000 kgs milksolids. A very well kept, centrally located 25 swing over dairy with yard capacity of approximately 400 cows, provides an efficient milk harvesting work place. Electric fencing subdivision, excellent stock watering system and laneways to every paddock (maximum walking distance 1.2km) make management very straight forward. Calf rearing facilities are adjacent to the dairy and there is adequate supplement storage on the farm.
