Approximately 80 per cent of this stunning property comprises rich basalt soil types. Most of the property is easily traversed, undulating to hilly country, well sheltered by both its undulation and the scattered trees across the landscape.

What’s more, the property boasts secure water delivered by four spring-fed creeks, numerous spring-fed dams and reticulated water covering much of the holding.
Two large spring-fed dams feed elevated tanks reticulating water back to many paddocks. Most paddocks have access to both dams and reticulated water. The ‘Doughboy Mountain’ production system also benefits from an exceptional average rainfall of around 900mm per annum.

Pasture production benefits from the area’s cool temperate climate with the property’s impressive pastures featuring a well-balanced mix of both productive native and introduced species. Cocksfoot, Fescue and Clovers respond well to a top dressing program which has been a feature of the property since the 1950’s.
In addition, forage crops can be grown on ‘Doughboy Mountain’ with great success; mainly using ryegrasses, brassicas and clovers sown in the spring, following a spring break or early in autumn for winter feed. Three sprayed out paddocks covering 60 hectares will be planted to rye grass at the end of February 2025.

Fencing is another significant feature of the property, which spans more than 60 paddocks. Much of the fencing has been replaced in recent years, including a significant area enclosed in an exclusion fence built in conjunction with several neighbouring properties (10,000 hectares in total) – done to provide a more secure environment for sheep if reintroduced.
A laneway system has been designed to provide efficiencies to the livestock management system and much less stress on livestock in the handling process.
