Where Tradition Meets Innovation

The Property

Four Divisions, One Station

Open grazing country at the Homestead division
01

Homestead

The Homestead division is the management hub of Yulgilbar, with the main homestead and eight of the station's cottages close by. Yulgilbar's stud sires and herd are also usually kept in the Homestead division.

Cattle in the feeding facility at Broadwater

Broadwater

The Broadwater division's primary use is as a feeding facility for cattle. This supplementary feeding program was designed to ensure proper preparation of sale cattle — up to 1,500 head can be fed in the purpose-built facility. Broadwater is also Yulgilbar's machinery and maintenance hub, and the Clarence River flats here are largely double-cropped to rye grass, oats, sorghum and corn.

In 2017 Broadwater also gained the Yulgilbar Big Shed, a purpose-built sale facility giving Yulgilbar a permanent home for annual sales and field days — with a sale ring, multi-level seating, caterers' kitchen, private office, lounge and a large under-roof area to view cattle.

Irrigated cropping country at The Farm

The Farm

The Farm, with its picturesque scenery, is an important part of Yulgilbar's cattle program. Cropped and irrigated areas are used for the annual insemination program — a key part of Yulgilbar's stud program. The Farm is also home to first-calf heifers and weaners thanks to its fertile Washpool Creek flats.

Young cattle grazing at Tooloonki

Tooloonki

Tooloonki is an outstation reacquired by Yulgilbar in 2006, having been originally owned by Yulgilbar until the 1960s. It features 600 hectares, including 320 hectares of farming country suited to Yulgilbar's cash cropping program — corn, soya beans, adzuki beans, lucerne, triticale and barley. Young females are run on the rest of Tooloonki, and weaner steers are brought on depending on market conditions.
