26°30′58″S 122°48′25″E / 26.516°S 122.807°E / -26.516; 122.807 (Prenti Downs) Prenti Downs Station is a pastoral lease and cattle station located in the Mid West region of Western Australia.

[1] The area is composed of a mixture of landscapes including saltbush dominated clay pans, mulga country and grasslands.

[2] The property was put on the market in 2013, when it occupied an area of 3,835 square kilometres (1,481 sq mi); Prenti Downs was sold in late March 2015 to the Carmody family who have since taken over management of the property.

After purchasing the property a new style of management of livestock was introduced, self mustering yards, in an effort to manage large feral herbivores and wild cattle.

[4][5]Since registering a Human-induced regeneration carbon sequestration project Prenti Downs have started to deploy a remote monitoring system[6] across the property to better manage the total grazing pressure in an effort to promote the restoration of native forest cover.
