Comments:
Roxburgh lends itself to a stand alone breeder and grain property or a large scale backgrounding operation. With minimal fencing and an extension of the present pipe & cap Artesian system large numbers of stock could be fattened. Cattle yards are well designed with a five way draft long curved race that fits 15 cows for fast processing. This property has been held in the family for 24 years and is only being sold to finalize the break-up of the family estate. Two adjoining properties have been held by the family since 1892 and help management etc would be available if needed. Contractors for all farming needs are readily available locally.
