</div>
</div>
<div>
<div class="assets">
Ms Rinehart owns one of the world's biggest full-blood and pure-bled wagyu herds, with more than 8000 head.
The Wagyu are finished and processed in Australia, then delivered into mainly local and some overseas markets, including the Nobu restaurants in Australia and overseas.

The rural property trust, Rural Funds Group has bought Cobungra Station for $35 million.

Cobungra Station – one of Victoria's largest and most prestigious high-country beef breeding enterprises – was offered for sale last April.

It was for only the third time in 100 years.

The $35 million deal secured the 6486-hectare alpine beef property at the foot of Mount Hotham, plus more than 24,000 hectares of adjacent grazing licences.

<img alt="" src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2019/2/11/Cobung3.jpg">

Cobungra Station has a history and reputation as a grower of high quality Australian beef stretching back to the 1800s.

Its cattle comprises Full Blood Wagyu, F1 Wagyu Cross and English Breed herds.

In 2001 a comprehensive full blood wagyu breeding programme commenced, starting with a herd of 70 cows descended from Michifuku bloodlines. Since then the Cobungra full blood wagyu herd has developed substantially.

At between 1000m and 1500m above sea level, the altitude and clean mountain air, combined with abundant clean water makes a naturally healthy place to raise cattle.

Bundarbo Station, the cattle farm of the late media executive Sam Chisholm in the NSW Hilltops Region, has been listed for sale by the executors of his estate.
The farm is located at Jugiong, a small community on the Murrumbidgee River, north west of Canberra.
The next buyer of Bundarbo, which comprises 160 hectares of rich alluvial river flat land, will only be its third owners since the pioneer settlement.
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2018/11/26/Chis2.jpg" alt="">
<div class="page" title="Page 1">
<div class="layoutArea">
<div class="column">
The property was taken up in the 1840s by the well-known pastoral Osborne family, at that stage a holding of 65,000 acres, and was held in the family for 150 years until sold Sam Chisholm and wife, Sue.
</div>
</div>
</div>
It is home to Hazeldean blood commercial Angus breeding herd comprising around 1,110 Angus breeders.
Despite being predominantly a beef cattle breeding and fatteninig holding in recent times, Bundarbo Station has also been run as a successful Merino sheep and prime lamb breeding property. 
Meares &amp; Associates Sydney agent Chris Meares is handling the marketing with $30 million plus price guidance.
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2018/11/26/Chis3.jpg" alt="">
Meares said Chisholm had been a very keen supporter of rural Australia.
 "Sam always believed that every successful Australian should invest back in to the rural sector," he said.
"The sale of Bundarbo will create huge interest both here in Australia and overseas," Meares suggested.
"Over the past two to three years in particularly we have seen an increase in focus on the rural sector and agribusiness projects," Meares says.
Meares noted that agriculture is now a global product and there has been strong interest in investment in the sector from both offshore and local operators.

"There remains to be an acute shortage of quality property for sale," Meares said.
"There is arguably no other property with the unique features of Bundarbo with its magnificent homestead and guest complex, nationally recognised gardens and a working property with size, scale and reputation – producing 1,000 plus cattle for sale annually."
Chisholm is best known for shaping the television industry landscape both locally and internationally, working at times for Kerry Packer and Rupert Murdoch.

Ray White Rural and Livestock has listed Tenterden Station, a 1500 ha Guyra holding.
The agency has suggested <a href="https://www.propertyobserver.com.au/http://raywhiteruralnsw.com.au/properties/rural/nsw/guyra-2365/mixed-farming/1954755" target="_blank">Tenterden Station</a> lends itself favourably for future subdivision as the current LEP for rural land permits 200ha minimum lot sizes.
Ray White Rural and Livestock has a new Sydney-based corporate sales and marketing entity to service large scale agribusiness transactions and divestments.
The team will be led by rural agent Andrew Starr and Bruce Birch, the organisation’s national livestock director.
It will partner with local specialists in the New South Wales network of Ray White Rural to handle large corporate deals and complex aggregation sales.
It will focus on selling major agribusiness transactions as well as livestock.
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2018/9/10/TENTERDEN1.jpg" alt="">
The new business was inspired by the long-term success of a corporate-grassroots entity in Brisbane, Ray White Rural Queensland, directed by Bruce Douglas and Jez McNamara. The Brisbane-based business works collaboratively and exclusively with Ray White Rural's local agents in the sunshine state helping to facilitate rural property transactions.
The new business will be based out of Sydney, and will operate statewide, Andrew Starr explained.
"The strength of relationships with family offices, corporates and international contacts based out of a capital city coupled with the local knowledge, ease of local inspections and the reputation of our agents on the ground has proven an attractive option for many vendors with major agricultural assets to sell.
"This approach has worked well for vendors in Queensland for 25 years, and we anticipate it will be as attractive for clients in New South Wales,” he said.
The dual-agent approach exposes properties to a broader buyer pool, co-director Bruce Birch said.

The former Today show host Matt Lauer can keep his New Zealand ranch.
The NZ authorities concluded last week there wasn't enough evidence he'd breached a "good character" condition after sexual misconduct accusations saw him depart the broadcaster NBC last November.
His termination triggered an investigation by New Zealand authorities, who require foreign buyers of important assets to be of good character.
The provision is broad and includes criminal convictions as well as anything else that authorities decide reflects poorly on an owner's integrity.
Lauer last year purchased a lease for the Hunter Valley Station, a 10,750 hectare farm with lakeside ranch near Queenstown
The property runs 13,000 cattle and merino sheep.
It runs alongside a river that's filled with trout and salmon.
New Zealand's Overseas Investment Office (OIO) said that as part of its investigation, it had taken sworn statements from Lauer and had been in touch with NBC.
"Mr. Lauer has not been charged with any offence, nor convicted, and the evidence available to the OIO at this time does not establish that Mr. Lauer is unfit to continue to hold the asset," said Lisa Barrett, an official at Land Information New Zealand, in a statement. "However, in reaching this position, we do not condone the inappropriate way that Mr. Lauer has behaved."
Last year, Lauer and wife Annette Roque said in a statement they'd be visiting New Zealand for several years, and "every time we visit, we feel lucky to be in a place of such endless beauty, inspiration and adventure."

Cogoon Station, the south west Queensland grazing property, has been listed for sale.
It is the district from where the Prussian explorer and naturalist Ludwig Leichhardt set off from on his fateful expedition, never to be seen again.
Leichhardt's disappearance remains a mystery after he went missing in 1848 with his expedition crew of four Europeans, two Aboriginal guides, seven horses, 20 mules and 50 bullocks planning to cross Australia.
Cogoon, located in the Maranoa region around 60 kilometres south of Roma on the Darling Downs, then belonged to politician Allan Macpherson.
The near <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-livestock-qld-roma-7952110%20" target="_blank">6000 hectare grazing property</a> is subdivided into 11 main grazing paddocks.

The $1 billion offering of one of Australia’s biggest agricultural empires, with 16 northern cattle stations, has begun.
The vast offering, which includes a herd of 400,000 cattle, is the Consolidated Pastoral Company empire.
The CPC cattle kingdom, once owned by the Packer media family, has been owned for the past nine years by Britain-based Terra Firma private equity group.
Around $1 billion is being sought for the stations that cover 5.5 million hectares in prized cattle country in the WA Kimberley, Northern Territory and Queensland.
Frenetic action around sale is being compared to the $386 million disposal of the much bigger, but less valuable, Kidman cattle and land empire two years ago.
But CPC chief executive Troy Setter told The Australian there was already keen interest from Australian bidders for the properties, which include Newcastle Waters in the NT
Ads, which are part of FIRB compliance, have been placed by Goldman Sachs which will oversee the sale, which is expected to take more than six months.

The historic Beltana Station has sold to new South Australian owners, selling to a Far North pastoralist at $8.4 million.
The picturesque Flinders Ranges property was bought by Andrew Doman, owner of Yadlamalka sheep and cattle station near Port Augusta.
The 1541 square kilometre historic station, which has links to Sir Thomas Elder, was sold by the Ragless family.
It was first farmed by Elder's brother-in-law, Robert Barr Smith in 1857, with its name coming from an Aboriginal word meaning “running water”.
Beltana was used during filming of the movie Gallipoli in the 1980s and also featured in movies Tracks, Thousand Skies, Stealth and Rabbit Proof Fence.
With sweeping views of the Flinders Ranges, Beltana is 506 kilometres north of Adelaide.
The Ragless family bought the property in 2007 and added accommodation, a cafe and a restaurant.
It was sold by the Elders rural agency with an Angus cattle herd of 750, a Dorper sheep flock of 6000 and its historic 1860s homestead, cottage and shearing shed.

The North Queensland grazing property market is moving quietly, according to Herron Todd White, who said reports are of strong deals in central Queensland have yet to filter north.
HTW said a number of grazing propositions are still on the market, spread geographically from the south of Charters Towers to Pentland/Prairie towards Croydon and Hughenden. 
"Of note is the offering in Rocky Downs on the Gregory Development Road (Clermont Road, to the south of Charters Towers). This property sold in June 2013 for $3.7 million which was $191 per hectare ($77 per acre)," HTW said.
As a guide, the following sales have occurred in the market:
• Victoria Downs - $320 per hectare ($130 per acre)
• Broadleigh Downs - $233 per hectare ($94 per acre)
• Liontown (after deducting cattle and plant) - $470 per hectare ($190 peracre)
• Devon Park - $350 per hectare ($141 per acre) • Coronation - $293 per hectare ($119 per acre) 
<div title="Page 3">
<div>
<div>
<div>
HTW said given Rocky Downs’ access and proximity to the central Queensland market, enquiry is expected from local graziers and also those from central Queensland.
"It has been some time since southern buyers have entered the northern Queensland market," HTW said.
"The sales in the past year have been local buyers. Property market stakeholders may see a line in the sand in this phase of the property cycle.
"Reports are of strong deals in central Queensland at present, so perhaps that will encourage the southerners to look north.
"Another point of interest in the recent phase of the property market cycle is the private sale of stations without publicised marketing campaigns.
"Over the past ten months there have been six stations sold without a public campaign. These have been quietly negotiated. Buyers and sellers have not wanted to go public with their details. Business has simply been getting done.
"Talking about stark contrasts, the current grass status across the north is changing quickly.
</div>
<div>
"Has anyone noticed the changes in the drought declared shires?
"The remaining shires on the current Drought Declaration map show McKinlay, Richmond, Flinders, Charters Towers, Tablelands, Burdekin and Townsville Local Government Areas as being Drought Declared.
"It will be interesting to watch what happens to the Charters Towers declaration following the recent rain event in that shire. The rain gauges around Greenvale and down towards the Burdekin Dam nally received some follow up rain.
"Now that the temperatures are dropping, the country to the west of Pentland has or is haying off. So where is the grass?
"At present, there is some good grass in the Burdekin Valley, then another good patch in the basalt to the north of Hughenden, areas to the north of Richmond, Nonda, Nelia and to the north of Cloncurry."
