“SOLD - Cheviot Hills (1490 Ha - 3683 Ac)”
This outstanding property is one of four selections being offered on behalf of the Pontifex family. All properties are listed on this web site separately.
The locations of these parcels vary within 8 km of the Corrigin Town site with Cheviot and Durston's being the closest. Melton & Joe's is 25 km East with O'Brien's and Kirkwood's 12 km East.
The owners have been meticulous in the management practices of their cropping and merino sheep enterprise which is evident through the professional appearance of these properties.
Clover based pastures and fertiliser applications have been a priority. For example up to
14 Kg of phosphorus to cereals and canola and 6 Kg per Ha to pastures have been applied annually to the majority of the properties with periodic applications of SCZ Moly applied at 100 Kg per Ha during the pasture phase. Cropping includes Cereals, Canola and Lupins with pasture breaks in between.
Although merino sheep numbers are down to 2000 breeding ewes on the collective properties, this has only had a marginal effect on pasture rotations and continues to reflect the owner's conservative farming practices that have been in place for many years.
All properties have a significant investment applied to the water supply infrastructure including dams, tanks, troughs and the integration of scheme water on Melton & Joe's and O'Brien's.
In keeping with the high standards set by the owners the fencing infrastructure is also outstanding with many fence lines featuring well maintained Ring Lock on steel posts or recently erected fencing.
