Close to Morrinsville is this 92 hectare (more or less) dairy unit situated at the end of a no-exit road. The contour is a mix of flat to gentle rolling with a portion of medium hill. Well laid out with plenty of mature shelter trees to absorb the summer stress for cows.
Currently sharemilked with 240 cows (cows available to purchase) and young stock grazed off farm the beginning of December each year. Production has been around 70,000ksMS over the past three seasons with up to 80tDM maize silage as introduced supplements and around 100 bales of grass silage made on farm.
A very good 28 aside dairy is well located with a good looped race system fanning out to 48 paddocks. The fencing is permanent on the boundary along with some hedges and a stream flows along the back boundary. Internal fencing is two and three wire electric.
The water is sourced from a bore at the entrance to the property with a submersible feeding to a large manacon on a high point of the farm and pressure fed around the farm through a 25mm alkathene mainline with troughs in all paddocks. The water is of very good quality and feeds both houses and the dairy shed. An inline Dosatron dispenser handles all the mineral inputs for the stock. Effluent from the dairy shed is contained in two unlined ponds and emptied by a contractor when required.
The main home is situated at the entrance to the property and enjoys a great vista over the farm and surrounding countryside. There is a large gable implement shed adjacent to the main dwelling. The second home is older, has three bedrooms and a single garage.
This property has a great location, is well set up with good facilities and represents a great buy at this late stage of the season when the payout is at an all-time high and the outlook is extremely promising. Well worth a look!
