Cattle handling facility: A sturdy galvanised steel pipe cattle handling facility has been well thought out, with all that is necessary to handle cattle smoothly. Like ‘moving gates’, a neck clamp, a loading ramp, pens as well as a spray race.
Sheep handling facility: The well-thought-out sheep handling facility has lead-up corridors, and numerous sorting gates, which lead into holding camps. The race also leads into a building where the actual work can be done in the shade, with everything at hand – like fridges and sinks.
Lambing pens: 11 well-built lambing pens are within view of the house. These can also be used as stables or chicken runs.

Dams: There are two large farm dams, which supply the irrigation and water troughs. One dam is 35 meters higher than the other dam. These two are connected by a 160mm HDPE pipe that has the pumping system in it. This system is also used to gravity irrigate certain fields. Dams are stocked with bass and tilapia.
Fields: There are numerous lands which have been planted with Rhodes, Smuts and Panicum maximum (some have poor man’s Lucerne/sericea lespedeza). The fields have been fenced into smaller camps to facilitate rotational grazing. For the last 15 years, great care has been given to following the Albrecht soil health method. This means only natural fertilizer has been used. (Langvos, chicken and sheep litter). Pastures have been left to seed and build up humus on a rotational basis. Most camps have cast iron baths for drinking troughs and some 2500 litre storage drinking troughs.
Fencing: This is good cattle and sheep fencing. There are boundary and internal camp fencing. Mostly with swing gates.

Rondavel: A Rondavel close to the house is a small cottage that is used for visitors. It has a bathroom and a small kitchen.
