This 355ha effective, 1200 cow farm at Te Pirita has been converted for four seasons so has excellent infrastructure. This includes a 60 bail rotary that is fully automated, high quality effluent system that is also spread via pivot irrigation. Pivots include SCADAfarm management software for simple operation.
The low input farm system we are driving for is as close to all grass as possible. Young stock are largely off farm, managed at a dairy support farm nearby which is also owned within the group.
