A few more statistics for you to ponder
Each head of cattle weigh approx 1102 lbs
The sale price is approx 75c per lb
Each animal will therefore be sold for approx $825
Total revenue from this is approx $2,356,200

This cattle station is called Helen Springs Station and the Managers wife used to travel into town every month to take classes with our patchwork group. They have since moved interstate to manage other properties.
