Located 15 minutes from Gympie on the eastern rim of the Goomboorian Range plateau, the property is uniquely nestled on three sides by borders of the surrounding Goomboorian National Park. The property is 98% cleared and was used as a bean and crop farm from the 1940’s through to the early 1980’s.
Our Farm
Coes Creek forms high up in the plateau of the National Park and spills into the Western boundary of the property providing a pristine watercourse that dissects our paddocks and provides a natural ecosystemfor native wildlife and an abundant birdlife.
On the other side of the valley, the property has a 55 mega litre dam linked by a network of 100mm mains enabling the business to irrigate 18 paddocks as and when required. Generally, not required as the region has an average rainfall of 1200mm per annum.
Our Practice
Saddleback Pastoral Co. practices a weekly rotational cell grazing structure, running our herds in 4 mobs across 42 paddocks minimising the need for herbicides and ensuring our grasses maintain a deep root structure and a nutrient rich soil profile.
