Tim and Julie Gibbs operate as sharemilkers across two dairy farms in the Waikato, with a focus on efficient, sustainable, and family-oriented farming. Together, we milk a total of 470 cows across 190 ha — our Arapuni property (92 ha, 180 cows) and Westlea (98 ha, 290 cows). Both farms are spring-calving and run with a strong emphasis on animal health, pasture management, and maintaining balanced lifestyles for ourselves and our team.
With over a decade of hands-on experience in 50/50 sharemilking, we’ve built a herd and business we’re proud of. Our approach combines practical know-how, good people, and smart use of technology like PaySauce for payroll and time tracking. We value clear communication, team culture, and continuously improving the way we farm.
