Carlton Hill

Carlton Hill and Ivanhoe play an integral part in CPCs significant live export market, growing 15,000 - 20,000 steers and heifers a year in readiness for shipping, ex-Wyndham, to Asia and the Middle East.

With a 900 mm annual rainfall, Carlton Hill and Ivanhoe can comfortably support 49,100 head including 20,000 Brahman breeders. Couch and buffel grasses on the aggregation's alluvial flats and black soil plains also provide an excellent plane of nutrition for growing steers.
