Encompassing around 2,644 hectares of grazing land, 16 hectares developed to centre pivot irrigation, and 877 hectares of dryland cropping land, the property is primarily focused on breeding and finishing of Wagyu and Angus cattle.

The property has an estimated carrying capacity of 2,646 Adult Equivalents, as well as production of high-yielding crops including corn, barley and oats.

The Echo Aggregation’s irrigated and dryland cropping land has recently been utilised to grow corn silage, with 60 hectares of corn planted in late November 2022 and harvested early April 2023, yielding around 19.76 tonnes per hectare for the dryland and some 49.40 tonnes per hectare for the irrigated land. The centre pivot irrigation area has been planted to oats in 2024.

Management has initiated the expansion of the irrigated area and there’s potential to create additional pivot sites along the Deepwater River utilising a combination of permanent entitlements and the capture of overland flow.

Complementing the livestock and cropping enterprise is an established carbon project, leveraging ideal climate and soil types well suited to both soil carbon and environmental plantings. Soil carbon baseline has been completed.

Underpinning the highly productive property is abundant, secure water. On top of an average rainfall of 793.9 millimetres, water is available from a 104-megalitre unregulated water entitlement from the Mole River, dual frontage to the Deepwater River (13 kilometres), 34 dams, numerous seasonal creeks, and a network of tanks and troughs.

Water is reticulated throughout the aggregation via a mix of 63-, 50- and 38-millimetre polythene pipelines, supplying multiple tanks and troughs.

Irrigation water is sourced utilising an electric pump on the Deepwater River which is delivered to the pivot by a 150-millimetre underground mainline.

The Mole River entitlement is utilised to irrigate a 16-hectare field by a four-span Zimmatic centre pivot irrigator.
