Not your standard farm tenancy opportunity, it's true, but an opportunity for someone with limited capital to establish their own business, perhaps? If you'd like help to prepare a business plan for this farm or another one, I'd be happy to help. Favourable rates for New Entrants

Sorry folks, catching up now we’re back in signal! Next we headed to reddanedairy.com - they’re milking 200 cows through a mobile bush dairy and 700 conventionally. Calves are reared in a regenerative roaming ‘MARS’ system and 1/2 #NuffieldZimTour

We bought 2 bulls from Rob because we wanted easy calving, fertile, hardy bulls. Very happy with initial results on 62 heifers with 100% in calf, 73% bred in the 1st cycle. Bulls didn't go lame or lose condition while working Oliver Chedgey 2022 Organic Dairy Farmer of the Year
