Eastern Southland Dairy Farm
This attractive dairy farm is located 21km from the rural township of Gore. The dairy shed is currently equipped with six Lely robotic milking units but prior to the installation of the robotic milkers, it functioned as a 36 aside herringbone milking shed. This set up highlights the sheds flexibility and potential for conversion back to its original herringbone configuration, if needed. Currently milking 280 cows (consented for 450 cows) targeting 180,000kg MS for this coming season.
The property is well enhanced by a consented Redpath feeding/wintering barn (75m x 28m), underscoring its commitment to efficient feeding practice. Divided into 43 paddocks, supported by internal lanes the farm layout promotes self contained functionality and optimal management (all cows and heifers are wintered on farm). A comfortable three bedroom main homestead, accompanied by two additional homes offer a balanced living and working environment. The farms dedication to calf care is evident through a spacious calf shed, equipped with a Lely automatic calf feeding system.
