Cooper Del Este

The farm is predominately flat with a couple of undulating sidelings, and we wish to keep a well maintained and tidy environment.  We have 2 feed pads and some good calf rearing sheds. Hay storage sheds, woolshed on both farms for storage and a variety of other outbuildings. One milking shed in located toward the front of the farm, with the second shed being positioned nearer the middle of the farm. The fences are well maintained to a high standard with some new fencing still to be completed, after the cyclone. We have a river running through the property and have recently re-established our farm bridge, (post cyclone) which is used on a daily basis.
