Wongoonoo has been run as a cattle grazing enterprise, running on average 105 cows and calves. The vendor is currently running 65 cows and calves to ensure a good body of feed for buyers. There is approximately 420 acres of open grazing country with improved pastures of sub clover and phalaris.
Wongoonoo is fenced to 10 paddocks, the fencing is either hinge joint, ringlock or plain and barb wire on steel and timber posts, generally in older condition.
Livestock handling facilities include a set of steel cattle yards with crush, loading ramp and all weather access via the sealed Carabost Road.
Farming infrastructure comprises a large steel framed shed with high clearance that is adjacent to the home. On the eastern end of the shed is a garage and also although not used in recent times a board with one stand shearing plant.
For fodder storage there is a four bay timber framed hayshed and two silos.
