An exceptional large-scale Sharemilking opportunity in Northland

Pouto Topu A Trust “The Trust” is thrilled to present this Herd Owning Sharemilking opportunity to an ambitious dairy farming business owner. The trust has a history of improvement, partnerships, industry recognition and continues to see the benefit of holding true to its values:

Kaitiakitanga - We are guardians for the next generations.
Tikanga - Customs & values keep us strong and focused.
Manaakitanga - Caring for others.
Whakapapa - Our connection enriches us.
Rangatiratanga - Pave the way.

Previous sharemilkers will tell you that this opportunity is truly unique with so much to like. With scale, a supportive General Manager, corporate structure, access to farm advisors and a proven and established farming model this is an opportunity that will see you set up for growth & success.

The farms are currently operated by one sharemilker but can also be run independently. Oneroa is a 440-cow farm (195 ha milking platform, 40A/S HB) and Opuna a 625-cow farm (280 ha milking platform, 60 Bail rotary). Under a system 2/3 regime the three year average over both operations is 322,000kgms. 

With a unique growth and production curve, the system and cows are well accustomed to the elements that are unique to the Northland climate, for this reason the existing herd and youngstock is for sale and purchasing is a prerequisite of the opportunity. The herd is valued on the age profile, 6 week in-calf rate, averages of BW & PW and average sale price of stock, if you improve the herd, you will see benefit of your hard work when you sell it back to The Trust. Your youngstock will be grazed on a 140ha adjacent support block at no cost, only management responsibility.

This is a unique contract where The Trust highly values the sharemilker enabling their equity growth, with the last sharemillkers going onto Farm Ownership, you will not see a contract like this elsewhere!

As an integral partner to The Trust, you and your business will share its values and bring a number of great qualities, including:

• Knowledge of farms systems, effective stock and pasture management and the ability to fully utilise the resources and infrastructure available to you and your team.
• Easy and proactive communication and the knowledge that this is the foundation of a successful business partnership.
• A desire to measure, manage, collect and report the critical data that links to farm performance with an attention to detail and competency in farm technology.
• A robust financial position with a balance sheet that the will support the investment into the critical operational needs of your business. Further to this an attention to detail when it comes to controlling FWE and meeting financial targets.
