Hancock Agriculture has placed on the market its Rockybank Aggregation, a 22,667* hectare institutional scale grazing and dryland cropping opportunity situated 25* kilometres south of Roma in the renowned Maranoa region of Queensland.
The Aggregation comprises two contiguous holdings, Rockybank (16,441* hectares) and Holyrood (4,145* hectares), and one non-contiguous holding, Maffra South (2,082* hectares). All properties are located within an approximate eight* kilometre operating radius of one another, and are being offered as a whole, or as separate assets.
Strategic capital investment has been made across the Aggregation to improve water security and productivity. Excellent fencing and laneway systems make livestock management easy and efficient, and established feeding pens assist in finishing cattle.
Historically, the Aggregation was the site of the Kidman bull breeding unit, and in more recent years it has been used as a breeding block and for finishing weaners to feedlot entry.
LAWD agent, Danny Thomas, said the diversity of uses for the Rockybank Aggregation offered potential buyers an outstanding and proven asset.
“This is an excellent turnkey asset, complete with high-quality cropping and grazing land, and an experienced management team prepared to stay on with the new owners,” Mr Thomas said.
“The quality of cattle produced here are exceptional, with Hancock Agriculture’s premium 2GR Wagyu beef brand winning the world’s best grain-fed fillet at the World Steak Challenge Awards in London last year.
“The substantial investment in infrastructure sets the new owners up for immediate operational success and long-term growth.”
Superb livestock grazing at Rockybank
The largest property in the Aggregation is Rockybank, which comprises 14 freehold titles.
The property has historically been used as a bull breeding unit, supplying Santa Gertrudis and Kidman composite bulls to the broader business.
It has an estimated carrying capacity of 3,800 Adult Equivalents (AE) across 12,233* hectares of open grazing land and 2,191* hectares of timbered grazing.
Blade ploughing and deep ripping has recently been completed, and a large regrowth pelleting program was finalised in late 2024.
Oats are the main commodity grown on 2,017* hectares of exclusion-fenced dryland cropping, which is used as supplementary livestock feed during winter months.
Secure livestock water is sourced from five bores supplying tanks and turkey nests, which reticulate water to an extensive pipe and trough water system throughout the property. Additional water sources include 35* catchment dams.
Capital investment includes excellent yard facilities with extensive shade over the main yards, and seven supplementary feeding pens previously used for finishing bulls. Other quality structural improvements include multiple dwellings, shedding, and approximately 18,000 metric tonnes of pitted silage.
Holyrood benefits from improved grazing
The Holyrood property is made up of three freehold titles, with 3,285* hectares of improved grazing land, most of which has been double ripped in the past three years.
Previously used to supply Wagyu feeder cattle into the 2GR Wagyu program, Holyrood has a carrying capacity of 1,400AEs and was the breeding ground for the world’s best grain-fed fillet.
Approximately 860 hectares is used for dryland cropping of forage crops, with oats and forage sorghum predominantly grown for supplementary livestock feed, with approximately 5,000 metric tonnes of pitted silage on hand.
Livestock have access to secure water sourced from two bores, which reticulate water through an upgraded pipe network to numerous tanks and 18* new troughs. Additional water is sourced from nine* catchment dams.
Across the property, quality structural improvements include shedding, laneways and livestock yards, which benefit from an extensive shade system.
One freehold title at Maffra South
Exclusion fenced on three sides with a central laneway to all paddocks, Maffra South is a single freehold title with an estimated carrying capacity of 575AEs. It has also been used for Wagyu breeding.
Regrowth across the property has been totally cleared with blade ploughing, and deep ripping completed to improve and enhance productivity.
Maffra South also benefits from an updated trough and water pipe system, with a single bore reticulating water to numerous tanks and troughs providing secure water for livestock. Water security is supplemented by numerous large catchment dams located throughout the property.
Quality structural improvements at Maffra South include a dwelling, shedding and an exceptional set of livestock yards.
Attractive to multiple buyers
Mr Thomas said he expected multiple parties to show strong interest in the sale due to its large-scale and prime location in the Roma district.
“This is a well-presented and developed aggregation and the opportunity to purchase either as a whole, or as separate assets, makes it very attractive to buyers,” he said.
“It’s ideally suited to a local family operation seeking scale, or for a corporate or institutional investor looking for a backgrounding property that provides easy access to feedlots.”
Strategically located just outside Roma, the Rockybank Aggregation is close to retail, medical, educational and government services, as well as agricultural services to support ongoing operations.
The Rockybank Aggregation is available for sale via Expression of Interest closing at 12pm (AEDT) Wednesday, 1 April 2026. For more information, please contact selling agent, Danny Thomas on +61 439 349 977, or LAWD Director, Elizabeth Doyle on +61 400 102 439.
