Central laneways provide for easy livestock movement and rotations. The vendor has used this property predominantly as a winter shelter and fattening run off block to grow out their young cattle and spell the dairy herd while in spring almost all of the pastured areas are cut for fodder (hay and silage). The timing of going to market, could not be a more opportune time for a potential purchaser with livestock having come off from their winter spell and with farmers thinking of locking pastures up for fodder production, a feed or fodder bank could coincide with settlement.
