Adequate provision has to be made for water supply in drier years. The highest rainfall is in the summer months in both Capertee and Sofala, however that falls over fewer days than the rain falls in the winter. Not much further west, winters have the higher rainfall. Soil distribution is related to climate. This is evident in the pH, when soils under this more humid regime are acid.

Ten rabbits eat about as much as a sheep, a feral goat eats about the same amount. A kangaroo eats about two-thirds as much as a sheep and a horse as much as seven sheep. There is a herd of about forty feral goats which periodically come onto the property. The stock consists 5 horses and 3 cattle. There is obvious erosion near the dam closest to the northern boundary caused by the dozer during dam building.
