Property Description
Significant Scale
Since being acquired by the current owners 15 years ago, The Bluff has been systematically developed
Significant investment in water, fencing, livestock handling and pasture improvement has resulted in increased efficiency and reliable, consistent production
Convenient Location
The Bluff is located on the doorstep of Charters Towers within the tightly held Goldfields Region enabling ease of access to key services and amenity supporting the enterprise
Proximity to Charters Towers, and through that, Townsville, has played a major role in staff availability and retention
End-market Diversification
Situated within the Goldfields Region, the productive capacity of The Bluff is versatile being able to breed, background and fatten
Producing flatback cattle, multiple end-markets are available including live export (Port of Townsville), processors (Townsville / Rockhampton) and domestic markets to the south
Operational Efficiency
Since the extensive development of the Property, labour requirements have been minimised
An extensive network of laneways, waters points and newly constructed yards (automated Clipex) enable efficient operation reducing labour costs
Pasture Development
In addition to major capital works (fencing, water, yards), extensive pasture improvement has taken place across the holding over an extended period. This has resulted in continued productivity through the ‘dry season’ which underpins cattle performance and the carrying capacity of the holding
Strong Industry Fundamentals
Strong global demand for Australian beef, particularly from key Asian markets including China, Japan, and South Korea, is supporting sustained cattle prices and export opportunities
