Backgrounding Operation with Scale

Cattle Cropping Cultivation Hay Homestead Machinery shed Shed Yards

Given its size, water security and proximity to leading feedlots and saleyards, "Bora" may be the epitome of low input and high output cattle backgrounding operation. Considerable time and expense have been spent to develop "Bora" into a powerhouse backgrounding operation.

"Bora" is conveniently located 64km* north-east of Goondiwindi, with bitumen road frontage and just 15km* to the Cunningham Highway. All-weather access to the homestead and cattle yards supports year-round operations.

"Bora" Comprises a total area of 2,787.71ha* (6,888ac*) ranging predominantly quality Brigalow Belah melon-hole country running into lighter sandy soils and reddish loams. There is approximately 800ha of developed cultivation in the centre of the property which includes approximately 360ha of newer cultivation that has been brought back into farming since "Bora" was purchased in 2021. Approx. 230 hectares is planted with Sorghum, 100 hectares of Oats and 150 hectares of Barley (about to be harvested) and the remainder of the cultivation is fallowed and ready for a 2027 crop. The property is an ideal backgrounding property; however, it has the potential to cultivate extra country if required.

Structural improvement includes a comfortable 4-bedroom timber residence, comprising kitchen and separate living spaces plus enclosed veranda. Other improvements include a hay and a machinery shed.

The cattle yards are a defining feature of the property. The yards are a newly constructed set of Clipex Cattle Yards with a big steel shed over the working areas. The yards feature a large bugle shaped force into a bugle shaped race with concrete floor to weigh box and vet crush with five-way draft. All of the gates are air-driven from a central control panel with multiple pressurised lines going back to a separate air-compressor shed.
