The dairy farm is of rolling contour and is a system 4 feeding, and is part of a larger farm business that the owners operate separately (bull calves, maize grain, and heifer replacements). There is a state of the art, six year old, 60 bale rotary cowshed with an adjoining 400 cow feedpad. The farm business model philosophy is to feed all cows consistently, hence the feedpad. We grow all our own crops. We milk all year round, however we only have one calving a year in Spring. Calving starts 10th June. The farm has a lot of its own machinery and some of the contracting type work is done in house.
