Current farm
In our first year on this farm contract milking we broke the farm record for Milk Solid production and reached 68,000 m/s. Our main focus in our first year was grass management and we excelled at this to reach and push past the targets we set ourselves.
We are in our second season on this farm contract milking and our goals this year are to be grade free, focusing on high quality hygiene in the dairy shed while continuing with good pasture management to ensure we reach milk solid targets and cow condition.
Previous Farm

Nick was the manager here and he worked 3 seasons before Joe and Kelly gave us the opportunity to enter Contract milking on their lease farm in Kapuni/Auroa, The home farm ran 600 cows on 190h/a. On nicks second season here they broke farm record in milk solid production.
