AUCTIONEER’S NOTE: This sale offers a rare opportunity to acquire a good mixed farming unit, versatile and ideally positioned for fattening, cropping and small seeds production. The Hampton family have farmed this property for many years on a conservative basis by today's farming standards. Very few white crops have been grown over the years, resulting in the high growth and fertility in all pastures. Good lambing percentages are always obtained and all lambs are fattened with most selling prior to end of December. With further subdivision and increased topdressing carrying capacity could be substantially increased. The property- is being offered for sale by the trustees to wind up the estate and we can strongly recommend inspection.
