The property is stocked with approximately 12,000 head of Brahman cattle, with a capacity of 15,000, and is broken up into 28 paddocks with an average size of 47 square kilometres (18 sq mi).
Litchfield shares 12 holding paddocks, 6 permanent steel yards, 15 bores and a bitumen airstrip with neighbouring Tipperary.
There are numerous watering points in the form of creeks, springs and swamps scattered around the property; these can dry up before the onset of the wet season, making the cattle dependent on bores for a small part of the year.
[3] The Australian Agricultural Company offered A$105 million to acquire Tipperary and Litchfield stations along with the 60,000 head of cattle in 2009,[4] but the shareholder voted against the acquisition at an extraordinary general meeting held three months later.
[6] David Warriner, the head of the Northern Territory Cattlemen's Association, was still managing the group in 2012, when it was stocked with 70,000 cattle raised for live export to Indonesia.
