Description: THE RIDGE BEN LOMOND, NSW Originally owned by the Fulloon Family and was sold to the present owners in 1998, The Ridge has enjoyed a solid reputation for providing outstanding fat lambs or heavy cutting Merinos over many years. Sold to the present owners as a 38-950mm, rainfall property, recent drier seasons would suggest a 36-900mm and is a predominantly summer rainfall area. The Ridge is a gently undulating property with areas of wooded protection for livestock. The property is split by Whites Road and Beckmore Road, which divides The Ridge into roughly two equal areas of 500 acres and the northern block of 370 acres. The Ridge has been thoughtfully developed with wooded areas providing shelter for livestock. Paddock subdivision enables use of water points and controlled grazing rotations throughout the property. Noting that the park like appearance of the property has been affected by a major wind storm event and many wooded areas remain uncleared. Soil/Pasture: The strong volcanic soils are very productive and phalaris fescue, cocksfoot and clovers are evident throughout the property and growing strongly on locked up paddocks. The trap and granite country is first rate wool growing country and responds well to superphosphate. The property is estimated at two thirds basalt and one third trap or granite. Productivity: Ben Lomond country is regarded as some of the safest and most productive country on the Northern Tablelands. The Ridge is highly productive with an owner estimate of 5500-6000 DSE equivalent. Additional fertilizer would bolster carrying performance. A strong emphasis on new fencing has been implemented with 4.5km of new fencing improving stocking and management. A number of electric fences also complement existing fencing. Rainfall: Average annual rainfall in the local area is 900mm or 36 inches plus. Water: Back Creek waters the eastern block and a large dam is pumped (with a diesel pump) to a reticulation point on the house block. 12 troughs and 6.5km of pipe provide access to clean water and support paddock dams. Three polythene 19,000 litre 5,000 gallon tanks are adjacent to the shed. A cement tank is catchment from the house.
