Situation

Country
Finlarig has a long history of fertilizer application supporting above district average carrying capacity with the added versatility of cropping for livestock finishing or boosting farm income with silage or fodder crops.
Subdivided to 24 main paddocks, boundary and internal fencing has been well maintained with replacement of wooden battens in some fence lines and additional upgrading using iron posts enables the current sheep/cattle grazing program presently run on Finlarig.
Finlarig’s proximity to Rangers Valley Feedlot presents opportunity for silage, cropping and further pasture upgrading adding to Finlarig’s versatility and future potential with an estimated 400 hectares of arable farming area.
Finlarig comprises gently undulating loamy blue granite soils. Highly responsive to direct drilling and suited to all choices of agricultural production. The Stevenson Family have had a long stewardship of Finlarig selling outstanding quality cattle and noted productive medium wool sheep with a more recent emphasis on prime lamb production.
Finlarig is enjoying the benefits of recent spring rainfall and
inspects in good heart. Native box, apple gum, white gum,
peppermint and other introduced trees are scattered across the
property. Finlarig’s topography offers livestock protection in
the New England’s variable seasonal conditions along with
additional tree plantings.
