Kyong is a very well maintained and looked after property that has good pasture cover, is well watered and is complete with very good structural improvements. Fully operational and ready to go with very little further expenditure required by the purchaser. A great breeding property capable of running both Brahman and Crossbred cows and the quality and condition of the cattle are a testament to this fact.
