One of Australia’s largest integrated beef and cropping businesses, spanning nearly 26,000ha in NSW’s coveted ‘Golden Triangle’ region, is for sale.

CBRE Agribusiness has been appointed to sell the northern NSW aggregation, comprising a large scale integrated business producing more than 100,000 MSA graded cattle and 40,000 tonnes of grain on a yearly cycle.

Located in NSW’s north-west, the aggregation has been strategically developed over the past 18 years, with substantial investment in land, infrastructure and people resulting in exponential growth and development of a leading agribusiness with significant economies of scale and efficiencies.

The business recently received certification and trade mark for its unique cattle finishing model, ‘Certified Free Range Grain & Grass Fed’, which has underpinned its award-winning beef brands.

Richard Royle and Col Medway of CBRE are looking for a buyer via an open market International Expression of Interest (EOI) campaign.

Mr Royle told WILLIAMS MEDIA the opportunity to secure a successful enterprise with both scale and diversity had already generated significant investment interest.

“The quality and diversity of prospective buyers inspecting the business has been exceptional given the widespread drought affecting New South Wales and Queensland this year," said Mr Royle. 

"To date, inspections have been conducted by a wide variety of buyers, including Australian and international corporates, Australian family offices, private capital advisors, private equity managers, cropping businesses and beef industry participants.

“The volume of finished cattle the system can process, combined with its in-house transport fleet, is unique and certainly in a class of its own.”

The aggregation has a current cattle capacity of 30,000 head of cattle, with an annual turnoff capacity of over 140,000 and further expansion capabilities.

The cattle are accommodated in the licensed 7,000 SCU feedlot (DA approval for an expansion to 20,000 SCU) with the remainder in paddocks under the grain and grass fed system.

The dry land cropping ranges from flat Moree plains to rolling hillside at Croppa Creek/Warialda.

The business also operates its own fleet of modern livestock and bulk trucks, ensuring quick delivery of cattle to processors and customers.
