Scale & Productive Capacity
The Aggregation comprises 40,198.44* hectares offering exceptional scale for sheep and cattle production. The total estimated carrying capacity is 30,000* Dry Sheep Equivalents (DSE), historically carrying 12,000* Dorper ewes and lambs, with additional capacity for cattle when seasonal conditions are favourable.
Secure Water Infrastructure
Water security is provided through a single capped and piped pressurised artesian groundwater bore (developed under the GABSI scheme) that reticulates through polythene pipelines to 140* header tanks and 160* strategic water points. The system is further complemented by a network of seasonal catchment dams, ensuring reliable stock water across all grazing areas.
Productive Land & Soil Types
The Aggregation benefits from diverse land classes, comprised of 16,826* hectares of wooded alluvial plains, 9,407* hectares of brigalow with a melonhole influence, 5,110* hectares of soft mulga, 3,799* hectares of open alluvial plains, and 3,449* hectares of poplar box woodlands. Soils comprise a productive mix of red loams with heavier black soil flats along traversing watercourses, providing excellent response to seasonal rainfall and in part, the ability to dryland farm areas (as evidence to the south of the Aggregation).
Enterprise Flexibility
The Aggregation is well-suited to diversified livestock enterprises including cattle, sheep and goat production, offering flexibility across breeding, backgrounding and finishing operations. The balance of land class and soil type provides unique diversity of pasture supply across a range of climatic conditions, with flood events providing high weight gain herbages that significantly increase carrying capacity and agistment opportunities.
Geographic Location
Ideally located within the highly regarded Balonne region of South West Queensland providing favourable climatic conditions for livestock production. The Aggregation is benefited by proximity to numerous regional service centres including St George, Bollon, and Dirranbandi.
