Animal Farm

Stone Shed

The shed area comprised a new large factory standard shed approx 30m x 15m used for storage, with an area set aside for shearing, a stone shed with full length afdak built in 1908, two small stone ramsheds and a half completed storgage shed. In addition a large stock handling facility surrounded by a stone wall contained all the races and pens required. All large buildings were in very good condition. So far so good! We were taken on a tour of the farm, and shown all the important features.







Oats under Irrigation
