Thirlestone is in an average rainfall area of approximately 20 inches and located in a tick free area allowing movement of cattle to the South and West. The property would certainly lend itself to a breeding operation and would also be suitable to finish females.

Fenced into 11 main paddocks, with numerous mustering squares and holding paddocks, “Thirlestone” also boasts a lane system in place that services all the paddocks. All internal fencing on Thirelstone was erected around 2019/2020. “Thirlestone” is very well watered by 17 dams, 5 bores equip with solar, 9 tanks and 17 troughs, and seasonal swamps and water holes. There is scope to increase carrying capacity by utilizing and spreading water further and with more fencing. The current carrying capacity is approximately 1,400 head of cows.
