An environmentally focused family farm on the banks of the Waikato river delta.
Modern 54 bail rotary with in shed feeding.
Implement/hayshed and good calf rearing facilities.
Automatic cup removers, teat-sprayer, weighbridge, drafting, feed to yield, voice alerts etc
500 bail covered wintering/feed- pad all cows calved on pad.
Majority flat with rolling hills that are primarily used for chicory summer crops.
Entire farm has been contoured with 25 ha re-grassed after maize each year.
Currently split calving. 100 cows in April, 380 calved 1 August.
Would consider dropping the winter milk to make management more straight forward.
Top production 210,000 m/s but this has dropped to average 195,000 with change to winter milk.
We have invested in our business with the intention of creating an attractive opportunity for a long term share milker to thrive and bring up their family.
Great local primary school and college with bus service.
Located 45minutes south of Auckland on the banks of the Lower Waikato River Delta and 10 minutes from west coast surf beach and Manukau harbor.
