Comprising 934 hectares in total but with approximately 420 hectares grazeable, this first time to the market farm will definitely be a surprise on inspection. With a vast area of flat to easy undulating table land together with good areas of valley flats the farm in the past was not only breeding its own replacement stock but also finishing all stock to very good weights.
In more recent seasons our Vendors have reduced ewe numbers from 2500 down to 1300, done away with the 130 breeding cows and replacements and adopted a trading cattle system where around 500 cattle were traded through the farm over the past twelve months either finished or sold forward store.
Situated just a few kilometers off the main highway at Ahititi this property has two sets of outlying cattle and sheep yards on the farm with another set at the four stand woolshed which has covered yards for 1000 sheep capacity. Other farm buildings include three supplement sheds plus a 4 bay implement shed. The home is a three bedroom 1980’s built home with aluminium joinery, insulation up and down, log fire heating, gas hot water and attached double garaging.
This property has an unusually large proportion of flat to easy contoured land which not only allows the finishing of stock but also provides plenty of supplement contour with between 4000 to 5000 conventional bale equivalents of silage being produced annually on farm. The majority of the easy contour has been cropped with turnips in the past. Another bonus is that the entire farm is gorse free.
If you are searching for a very good producing sheep and beef unit that at its peak was wintering around 5000 stock units but with our vendors who have taken a more relaxed approach and are now wintering more around the 4200 stock units, then this farm is very worthy of your inspection and consideration.
