Agriculture
Livestock placements in Australia are usually associated with some type of machinery component; such as haymaking or cropping on large scale properties down to smaller holdings. Businesses include dairy, sheep, beef and pigs.
The warm climate allows most livestock to remain outdoors all year round, making enterprises such as dairy quite different compared to the northern hemisphere. These placements offer so much more than just milking cows!
Agricultural placements vary from average size properties to large scale and custom harvesting opportunities. Crops include wheat, barley, oats, canola, beans, lupins, just to name a few.
