The farm is a well layed out, efficient business running 530 Jerseys through a 28 a side Herringbone. These girls suit the farm soil type and dairy shed very well. Milking's are fast and efficient, keeping milking times minimal.
We have a real emphasis on low cost and lifestyle, we are virtually all grass fed with a small amount of grain fed though the shed during mating.
The farm has 2 centre pivots and one Rotorainer, plus sprinklers. We have a good level of machinery and the farm is tidy, well maintained and performs well with good grass species and fertility levels. Winter grazing is all done on land, either attached to the dairy farm, or directly over the road and this is typically completed in a couple of hours each day…so no big walks or travelling in the winter.
