This 249-effective hectare property is a grass fed only farm and milks 960 cows through an 80-bail rotary shed with cup removers supplying milk for Munchkin grass fed infant formula.

Prior to purchasing this property, Jacawanda was 420 effective hectares milking 1600 cows in 2014 it was divided into two seperate farms (Jacawanda and Emilius).

While still operating day to day the farm went under development including refencing, repivoting, regrassing and new calf and implement sheds and cow tracks were installed.
