Te Ngaio Company is a family owned and operated high producing dairy farm on the outskirts of Foxton. We pride ourselves in the amount of feed we produce in what is virtually an enclosed system, taking advantage of climate, irrigation (mostly pivot but some k-line), feed bunkers and feed pad.
We have a firm belief of keeping things simple, and ensuring a large amount of autonomy to follow the systems and goals that are in place or regularly discussed.
To support the dairy farm there are two runoff blocks, used for growing maize and all youngstock for the dairy and small beef operations.
I class myself as an approachable employer, who is open to suggestions to help improve systems with the clear goal of making life easier, while still achieving high levels of animal welfare, pasture growth and utilisation, and staff happiness.
