A unique opportunity to lease two farms, only 3 km apart, located 20 km south of Quairading on the 'Bulyee' road. These properties have formed part of an established Quairading family business for three generations.

The farms have been farmed in an extremely conservative rotation with livestock forming a large part of the farming enterprise. Generally, one crop and two years pasture with the pastures showing strong clovers which will be very evident on inspection.

The current lessee has applied approximately 100 kg/ha of 'Vigour' at seeding plus follow-up nitrogen as per the seasons' conditions.

Both farms are available as one or separately and a three-year term is offered with the lessee's contributing to lime application and an ongoing fencing program and a very revised, generous cropping rotation with full details in the proforma lease herein.

'Dalls'
This farm was originally timbered with mostly 'York' and 'Salmon' gums and the associated, good quality medium loams and clay/loam soils make up the majority of the property. The landscape rises from open, clear paddocks in the east to higher, more undulating country in the western section.

Improvements include a huge, older style, 4 stand shearing shed, good quality steel 'K-rail' sheepyards, two bay concrete fertiliser shed with sliding roof and approximately 100 tonne capacity, 18m x 9m general purpose shed that is powered, modest capacity overhead grain silo storage, overhead fuel storage.

Water supply is by way of approximately 230,000 litres of modern galvanised tank storage at the sheds with numerous freshwater dams, mostly full, from the current good season.

This farm totals 1150 hectare of which approximately 1037 hectares are considered arable as per recent farm mapping with over 40% of the property in pasture this year which will be spray-topped in readiness for 2024.


'Jimmys'
Located 3 kilometres north from 'Dalls', 'Jimmys' features quality 'Forrest' country, mostly set high in the surrounding landscape, running from more open country in the north to higher, more undulating in the south.

Building improvements are minimal, including a 12m x 9m open-sided general-purpose shed and an unused shearing shed and yards. Rain-water is collected from shed roof and stored in a cement tank and again freshwater dams have abundant stock water.

'Jimmys' is 706 hectares in total of which 649 hectares are considered arable based in recent farm mapping with nearly 60% of the farm spray-topped pasture in this season.
