We milk 1200 cows through a 54 bail Delaval rotary, with ACR, auto drafting gate, auto teatsprayer and in shed feeding. We do not have irrigation on the dairy farm, although we also have a runoff block in Mayfield where we winter cows and run young stock. This secondary block is irrigated with pivots. We have 6 full time staff currently (two operating directors, four full time dairy assistants).
We have Halter technology on farm which means there are typically no temporary fences to shift as we use virtual fencing technology. This technology is also used for monitoring cow health, pasture management etc. We are not just a dairy farm. We also run deer for velvet and breeding, do the majority of our own silage and cropping, and raise our young stock on farm. This variety in our business means there are opportunities for variety in your work.
