Abstract

Over the past 13 years the property described has proved a worthwhile investment. Carrying capacity has been increased by 260%, and high performance stock have been maintained; ewes have averaged 135% lambing. The property was first developed into a dryland lucerne unit, and in later years to an irrigation farm. This has been achieved with 2 labour units, and extended working hours.
