Waves of Milk - Contract Milking near Whangamata

Looking for a contract milking opportunity where you can make your mark? This 105ha (effective) dairy platform in the stunning Hikuai district, newly acquired by forward-thinking owners, this is your chance to take the reins on a farming operation with potential to lift production and farm performance while living close to beautiful Whangamata.

Milking 270 cows through a 32-aside Herringbone with in-shed feeding (PKE-based), the planned system is a System 2-3 with the target of producing upwards of 85,000KgMS. The farm is supported by lease land and needs a capable person ready to tidy up and put some polish on the physical presentation.

To be successful in the role:

• The owners are looking for an intuitive farmer that has a minimum of 3 years management experience.
• Strong verbal and written communication, while maintaining compliance and up to date records with MINDA, Dairy Diary and Nait.
• Someone who has a sound business foundation that works towards targets and has proven feed budgeting expertise.
• Has pride in presentation – of stock, pasture, and property.

100 cows off for winter grazing – leaving you space and support to get established and succeed on farm.

The Living’s Good Too…Located just 20 minutes from Whangamatā, you’ll enjoy the best of both worlds – a quiet rural setting with a 3-bedroom home on farm, and nearby access to East Coast beaches, cafes, and schools in Whangamatā, Thames and Tairua.

This is a big opportunity for someone who wants to step up, own the operational outcomes, and work alongside owners who value professionalism and progress.
