Our dairy farm business is located 12 minutes from Te Awamutu and around 45 minutes from central Hamilton. We farm 230 effective hectares, with 535 cows fully A2 and contract supplies Fonterra. All young stock are grazed on farm.
We have 2 herringbone sheds (32a/s and 28a/s) and use one at a time and OAD for the second half of each season.
We run a low-input, system 1 with a focus on careful pasture and livestock management using Halter to enhance these, the efficiency of the business and support our team.
