Highly Productive Large Scale Breeding – Fattening – Wool Property with exceptional 10 Kms Foreshore Frontage.

“Happy Valley” has been in the same ownership for over 25 years and in that time has been expertly managed and widely renowned for the line of Angus it produces. “The vendor estimates “Happy Valley” as an 800 cow pure cattle operation but because of its versatility, is being used as a mixed cattle / sheep breeding – fattening – wool operation”.
