This 185 hectare dairy farm offers scale seldom available in this district. Our clients have been the proud custodians for four generations and having effectively developed the land this far, are now ready to pass the mantle on.
With a warm aspect, the flat to undulating contour supports a milking platform of 163 hectares. Current management favours a traditional grass fed method of production plus meal feeders. Average 3 year production is 181,519 milk solids from a 435 Friesian/Friesian cross herd. A computerised Waikato Frontier/Afi Farm System provides automation at the shed.
Subdivided into 99 paddocks the farm is well raced and fenced. Soils include Mairoa Ash and Peat. The benefits of a strong fertiliser history are apparent. Metered water supply. Effluent disposal is by way of ponds and spread by hydrants. Fencing throughout is a mix of electric and post and batten.
