Owing to a restructure and downsizing on farm we are looking to milk 320 - 350 predominantly jersey cross cows through a 40a/s Waikato system with inshed feeding, cup removers, wearable collars and autodrafting. The plan is to also install walk over teat spraying to bring the shed to being able to be majority milked with one person with support and help cleaning up from a second.
The farm is located 6km from Inglewood on Bristol Road. Contour is mostly rolling with some steep sidings. Approx 100Ha milking platform. We currently are self contained with 40Ha of support block on farm and an additional 75Ha leased support block that rears 100 dairy replacements, 120 beef, provides grass sileage ad winters cows.
