Large-Scale Cattle Property For Sale In QLD Food Bowl

Proven Cattle Fattening, Backgrounding + Breeding Property For Sale QLD

Situated in the heart of North Queensland’s Burdekin Basin food bowl, this is a unique opportunity to secure a large-scale cattle property for sale with a proven history of fattening, backgrounding and breeding premium livestock.

Known as ‘Inkerman Station’, the property is an established EU-accredited beef grazing and farming (sorghum for grazing) holding which is viable as either a standalone operation or part of a larger enterprise.

Under current ownership the property has been utilised predominantly as a breeding and backgrounding operation running 3,500-4,000 head including 2,000-2,500 breeders plus followers, and the balance backgrounding types from 250kg to 420kg. The owners estimate a realistic long-term stocking rate of 3,500AE utilising a similar farmed area as current, noting that with further land development (to grass or crop) this will further increase.

Spanning around 16,622 hectares (41,074 acres) across 14 freehold titles, the highly productive holding is underpinned by a strong mix of farming-quality soil types, timbers and pastures which provide the ability to farm, breed, background or fatten. Cattle production is enhanced by a strong mix of both native and introduced pastures which have benefited from a good wet season.

‘Inkerman Station’ has a large area of locked-in PMAV (5,900 hectares) of which the majority has been previously treated. Continued and targeted development of these areas has been a key focus under current owners and includes pulling, raking, cutter barring and planting of sorghum crop for grazing.

Water security is another key feature of the property. In addition to long-term average annual rainfall of 900mm (36 inches), the holding is well serviced by 15 bores (four not utilised), 11 open dams and a series of permanent and seasonal lagoons, springs and holes that traverse the area.

Water storage and delivery is via a large system of interconnecting poly lines linking to additional water points from large new tanks and re-equipped bores. Gravity has been utilised to deliver water through these lines in the areas that suit.

Further supporting the grazing and cropping operations are extensive infrastructure improvements. ‘Inkerman Station’ is boundary fenced and subdivided internally into six large and 14 smaller main paddocks with series of smaller holdings paddocks. Most main paddocks have a holding square and are linked to an extensive lane system leading to two cattle yards to assist with ease of mustering. There is a lane between both sets of yards which enable the ease of movement and education of cattle when required.
