Meares and Associates, the real estate agency handling the sale, does not disclose the price of the land itself. It presents the farm as one of the largest and most profitable in the region, distinguished by the scale and diversity of its production.

Diversified production is the offer’s greatest asset

For the past 15 years, the farm has been managed by Growth Farms. According to the Auction Plus auction platform, there are currently 6,5 thousand crossbred sheep on the pastures, with total annual sales of approximately 7 thousand head.

In addition, the farm keeps 700 Angus breeding cows, and their offspring can be raised for beef or used for further breeding. Annual cattle sales from the farm amount to approximately 650 head; the animals can be purchased separately.
