Highland is an incredibly productive sheep and beef farm with proven stock performance. Genetics, stock health and pasture management have been upheld to the highest standard of stewardship during our vendor's tenure. Forestry has been strategically planted in less effective areas to increase the property's net returns and create an investment for the future through carbon and timber. Rolling broad tops with ease of stock management benefit the property as well as ample farm infrastructure and private water supply. Currently running in excess of 3,500 MA ewes, 1,040 hoggets, 80 rams and wethers, 55 MA breeding cows and replacements. The livestock on this property is a testament to the vendors farming practice and what this property can carry with large-bred ewes and cattle. Stock performance includes winning the West Otago Ewe Hogget and Two-Tooth competition two years running. Approximately 71% of male lambs and 50% of ewe lambs are drafted at weaning with scanning more than 180%. A well-presented, four-bedroom, Summerhill Stone homestead, set in mature gardens, completes the property. Viewing at your earliest convenience is highly recommended.
