Description

188 HECTARE DAIRY FARM


This very well presented 188 hectare dairy offers very good farm infrastructure, a proven production history, scale and location.

The farm has a proven history with production for the past four season's being: 2014/15 - 234,736kg/ms (as at 10th May 2015); 2013/14 - 231,802kg/ms; 2012/13 - 204,307kg/ms; and 2011/12 - 232,441kg/ms.

This year 588 cows were calved on the farm. All calves are off by mid November and heifers are back on the farm from 1st May.

The farm has very good infrastructure including a 36 ASHB shed with ACR's and Waikato plant plus a concrete feed pad, concrete bunkers and a new Aztec 20 pen calf shed.

The dairy platform is 166 hectares with 142 hectares flat to easy rolling and 24 hectares medium to steeper hill. The balance of the farm is in sidling's and grazed with beef stock plus there is a very small area in trees.

The farm is arranged into 80 paddocks and is well raced and fenced and it has a strong fertiliser history. Soils are predominantly tirau ash.

Effluent is stored in the lined pond and spray irrigated over approximately 30 hectares.

A new screw press separator will be installed prior to settlement.

Water supply is from a deep well bore to a manacon tank then pumped to further manacon tanks around the farm and with both gravity and pressure supply to the troughs. The mainlines are 63mm alkathene and 40mm pvc with 32mm lines to the troughs.

Approximately 10 hectares of turnips have been grown on the farm and maize and grass silage have been bought in from the owners runoff. PKE has been bought in and fed as required.

The property is complimented by a comfortable four bedroom brick home with garage plus there is a two bedroom cottage and an older three bedroom house.

The Cambridge region is well regarded and there is a range of dairy, fattening, horticulture and lifestyle properties located nearby.

Dairy farms of this scale are seldom offered in this location. A change in the owner's circumstance requires a sale. Partial or full going concern options are available.
