Lots of cattle and sheep work on this coastal property.

This is my wife's family farm so we were there to get the place running up to my father n laws standards.

Stockwork included running 4200 halfbred ewes, 1800 stud romneys and 420 breeding angus cows.

Overall improvements included lots of spraying of gorse and broom.

Bluff Station was 28 thousand acres. Plenty of mustering the hills for merinos.

Horse work was essential for high country duties.

Plenty of yard work, cattle work and sheep work. Both our children were born at Bluff Station so very special place.
