Brinkworth intended to use the water rights the Uardry holds on the Murrumbidgee to use the property for cropping, to grow corn and silage, to drought proof the rest of his livestock holdings. The merino flock including all of the stud merino will be sold from the property. In 2013 Brinkworth purchased 18,000 head of cattle for million from drought affected properties on the Barkly Tableland owned by the Australian Agricultural Company. Brinkworth then had the cattle moved by droving them a distance of to Uardry using old stock routes. Many would be agisted at Uradry with the remainder of the herd being dispersed through Brinkworth properties in New South Wales and Victoria.
