Situated in the historic area of Tutamoe, just a 35-minute drive north of Dargaville, awaits an impressive 466-hectare dairy farm. Home to a thriving OAD herd of 618 dairy cows, with a solid four-year average milk solid production totaling 241,124kgMS. Last year alone, in the 2023/2024 season, production was 223,592kgMS. Purchased two decades ago by the current vendors, this farm was envisioned for development from the outset, and the investment in infrastructure speaks volumes. Handling the livestock is a breeze with the inclusion of a Te Pari Wrangler cattle crush. Contract calf rearing is a significant aspect of this operation, facilitated by two purpose-built calf sheds, one of which features a Quadroflex robotic calf feeding system. Notably, all cows are inseminated with Wagyu semen, contributing to the production of approx. 500 calves annually for First Light.
The farm's infrastructure is extensive and well-maintained, featuring a 48 ASHB cow shed and multiple implement sheds, a workshop, builders shed, storage shed, stables, and multiple shipping containers. Technology is at the forefront of operations, with two Starlink satellites and 8 Halter towers ensuring seamless wireless connectivity across the farm. This connectivity drives precision management, with all animals fitted with Halter collars and 28 cameras strategically placed throughout the property, granting management and stakeholders 24/7 access.
The farm is also aesthetically pleasing, with fenced and planted waterways and thoughtfully designed effluent ponds adorned with rock sculptures. Environmentally this this property stands above most. The limestone races, fencing, and overall farm infrastructure stand as a testament to the dedication of the current owners. The property has four comfortable homes, providing ample accommodation for farm staff, catering to both hands-on operators and remote investors alike. In summary, this dairy unit leaves no stone unturned, offering everything necessary for successful operation and investment.
