Renowned for producing premium grass-fed cattle, King Island benefits from a reliable maritime climate, virtual frost-free winters and an extended growing season that supports consistent pasture production throughout the year.

These natural advantages, combined with significant investment in water infrastructure, livestock handling facilities and pasture improvement, provide the foundation for a highly productive and proven cattle operation.

Comprising ‘Darlot Downs’, ‘Summerfields’, ‘Millstone’ and ‘Bokara’, the portfolio has been developed as an elite beef breeding, backgrounding and fattening enterprise.

The combination of productive grazing country, lucerne finishing land, extensive reticulated stock water systems, modern cattle handling infrastructure and established laneways has created a turnkey operation capable of supporting substantial stocking numbers and efficient large-scale management.

The portfolio is designed to operate as a larger-scale enterprise rather than as four isolated holdings, with ‘Darlot Downs’ and ‘Summerfields’ forming the core grazing platform at the northern end of the island.

Spanning 974.3 acres (394.3 hectares), ‘Darlot’ Downs is a substantial improved grazing property within the northern Egg Lagoon production base, hosting the portfolio’s main three-bedroom homestead, practical cattle infrastructure including substantial Prattley cattle yards with undercover concrete working area and race, plus timber weaning/holding yards, reliable stock water sourced from a bore and large catchment dam, and established pasture systems.

The largest holding within the portfolio (1,180.6 acres/477.8 hectares) and regarded as one of the key production assets, ‘Summerfields’ combines highly productive Egg Lagoon grazing country with complementary semi-coastal and coastal grazing land, giving the enterprise both strong pasture performance and valuable seasonal flexibility.

The holding features three separate stock water systems supplied by spearpoint bores, a conventional bore and a spring-fed dam, with elevated 22,000-litre header tanks gravity-feeding concrete troughs.

Covering 599.4 acres (242.6 hectares), its semi-coastal soils, lucerne-based pasture and connection to ‘Summerfields’ make it an important component of the portfolio’s breeding, backgrounding and fattening flexibility.
