Precision pasture operations and herd telemetry

Daily rotational break grazing and automated electronic monitoring maintain optimal lactation curves across our Ashburton enterprise.

Management system

Core rotational grazing protocols

Strict daily allocations ensure high-energy leaf consumption and sustained soil recovery intervals.

Break Allocation

Nutritional Balancing

Pasture Rest Intervals

Cows are moved to fresh pasture breaks twice daily, targeting the highest-energy top canopy layer of ryegrass and clover.

Dietary intake is supplemented with high-moisture brassicas and fermented maize silage to match exact lactation demands.

Grazed paddocks undergo strict recovery cycles, allowing root reserves and clover nitrogen-fixation to rebuild fully.

Automated tracking

Electronic collar telemetry flags health trends in real time during twice-daily shed routines.

Individual yield and weight data feeds directly into our herd management software.

Rapid cooling and bulk storage

Milk is piped directly into stainless-steel bulk cooling tanks where it is chilled to 4°C within minutes of extraction.

Our rotary parlor setup maintains high throughput with automated vacuum sanitization and strict hygiene protocols across every milking shift.

Closed-loop effluent collection systems route washwater to storage ponds, completing our nutrient-recycling cycle across Canterbury soils.
