Newstead Station

Located near the town of Inverell, the historic “Newstead” was acquired by Paraway in 2016 and, along with nearby “Paradise”, is a key component of Paraway’s strategy to deliver consistent, reliable supply of high quality produce to its customers.

Consisting of highly developed and improved pastures & fodder crops, with over 70 paddocks and a reticulated stock watering system, Newstead finishes a large portion of Paraway’s Angus and Wagyu turn off from its breeding enterprises in Central NSW, while also providing a grass finishing option for Northern cattle as well as trade cattle and agistment for external clients.

At 4,964ha, Newstead began life as a sheep station, and was the setting for the famous Tom Roberts painting “Golden Fleece” in 1894. Like much of the surrounding district, it is now predominantly a cattle finishing enterprise with high rainfall and dark basalt soil providing the perfect platform for a rotational grazing enterprise.

The three properties in Paraway’s New England portfolio are under the management of Nick Wood Group Manager Finishing, who is based at Newstead.
