PROPERTY UTILISATION
Murraguldrie Station has been over many years regarded as both a cattle breeding and sheep breeding property with emphasis being placed equally from time to time on either cattle breeding and fattening or prime lambs and wool growing.

In recent years emphasis has been clearing on cattle breeding with both an Angus commercial herd and the highly regarded Murraguldrie Angus Stud. With only a small number of breeding ewes retained.

The cell grazing enterprise has been used extensively which in turn has allowed all progeny both steers and heifers to be run on to feedlot specifications.

Murraguldrie Station has a proven stocking rate of 500 cows and calves with the ability to value add all progeny.
