"The paddock configuration, location of farm infrastructure, laneways, stock water system and the investment in technology has all been designed to minimise animal stress and maximise milk production."

"We anticipate Walcha Dairy will be of strong interest to a range of purchasers, including high net worth individuals, corporates and offshore parties."
