STATE OF THE ART FEEDLOT EFFICIENCY Sundown transports its cattle to the Gunnee Feedlot for finishing within 45 to 100 days depending on domestic or overseas market being targeted.
The current feedlot is licensed to 10,000 head with annual turnover of cattle of approximately 39,000 head.
The Gunnee Feedlot also has close access to processing plants in Tamwoth, Inverell and Southern Queensland. The Gunnee Feedlot is well located between the major highways of New England and Newell which connect the capital cities of Sydney and Brisbane.
Gunnee Feedlot Pty Ltd has plans to expand its capacity and production through a 2-stage program of expanding its feedlot capacity to 14,000 head and adding a supplementary area of 5,000 head. This expansion will increase the Gunnee Feedlot annual cattle turnover from 39,000 to 92,000 head per annum.
The Gunnee property has a total of 1,653.46 hectares of black and chocolate basalt soils and has an annual rainfall of 29 inches (725mm). While the property is run as a feedlot operation approximately 80% of the land is arable which can be grazed and cropped.
