Harris family finalises Marango sale

Recent stories

Louise Harris from Barraba in New South Wales has sold the 11,924 hectare mixed-use Marango property for $5.65 million, finalising the sale of her Queensland grazing holdings.

She and her late husband Wilf purchased the property six years ago as a link in the Harris family cattle supply chain.

The fully exclusion-fenced property is now in the hands of Michael and Maureen Borello from the Mount Emu Pastoral Co at Hughenden.

Most of the country is deep red loamy soils growing buffel grass in the summer and a mix of herbages in the winter. It can run up to 1,000 cows in an average year.

About 30% is low flood out country from the Mungallala Creek that provides a mix of feed and an additional drought mitigation measure. Water is provided by the share bore on Bindebango that supplies 16 tanks and 22 troughs, as well as 17 earth dams.

Nearly 12 months ago, Harris sold the 14,357 hectare Whyenbirra, 60 kilometres south of Bollon, to meat industry identity Robert Woodward for $4.1 million.
