We require a 50/50 sharemilker for our dairy farm in the Glenroy Valley, 30 minutes from Murchison (school, supermarket, service centre, medical centre etc). There is an area school bus at the gate. The dairy is a 40 bale rotary shed with ACR's and Protrack. Halter would be a good option if the sharemilker would consider that (70/30 shared cost). Summer crops and some baleage are grown on the dairy; and winter crops and silage on the runoff. The runoff is managed by the sharemilker. The R2yr heifers are usually grazed off outside the dairy/runoff from 1st June to 31st May (shared cost). Calving date is the 10th of August. The herd would be available for purchase at valuation.
The property has excellent fertiliser history with regular annual regrassing. The cows are typically run in 2 herds - usually 300-350 cows on 2AD until Christmas (then OAD); with the remain 200-250 cows on OAD all season.
Production typically sits around 210,000 MS; with the focus on growing grass and feeding cows well on pasture. 200-300 t of PKE is purchased annually (shared cost). There is 180 ha of KLine irrigation.
This position would ideally suit a young energetic couple with good communication skills; who wish to further themselves in the industry and grow equity quickly.
