Comments:
Milroy is a highly productive property with a favoured location. Good, clean woolgrowing - or fattening country. Suited to Merino sheep, Dorpers or Cattle. It grows an outstanding mix of good, clean feed and presents with a massive body of grasses, herbages and salines and would handle a big number of stock to fatten over the winter and into the spring. This is a sweet, diverse mix of country with very sound improvements.
