A Newcastle-based family which made its fortune in car dealerships has sold their leading cattle breeding property in the western Darling Downs.
Nearby landholder, Bidgel Grazing Co. bought the 15,411ha Dalkeith Station, in the Flinton/Teelba region east of St George, that had been owned by the Bradstreet family since 2012.
JLL directors of Agribusiness Clayton Smith and Chris Holgar refused to comment on the sale price but during the campaign industry sources expected it to sell for between $18m and $20m.
