The properties are very suitable for prime lambs, wool, sheep, stud stock, cropping, horticulture, aquiculture or most agricultural activities. In the 70's to 80's the properties carried 5 sheep to the acre plus lambs, times shearing 7,000 head with 30 to 32 tonne wool produced annually of around 20 micron and lambs at 17.5 micron. During this time 300 to 400 head of cattle were on the property and stud bulls were sold during the 70's to 90's.
