Southern Queensland cattle country has been snapped up by neighbouring owners for a district record price of about $9.5 million.

The West family from Silver Valley are the new owners of the 2,023 Tamarang property, about 50 kilometres south east from Roma and within the Maranoa region.

The mixed cropping and grazing property is used for backgrounding and finishing and can carry 350 breeders.

Country features buffel, creeping bluegrass and soft native grasses with herbages in season.

Tamarang is divided into 22 paddocks and features high quality fencing and infrastructure, and an extensive pasture improvement program that has been implemented since 1975. There is 485 hectares of cultivation.

The property is watered by 10 earth dams and a solar-powered electric sub-artesian bore.

Improvements includes a five-bay steel workshop with concrete floor, high clearance machinery shed, and smaller equipment sheds, as well as a four-bedroom homestead.

Dom McSweeney from Colliers Agribusiness managed the sale for the Mills family, who had owned the property for 47 years.
