Dairy farmers, particularly in the southern South Island, are seeking innovative off-paddock wintering options as an alternative to forage crop grazing. A team have been researching alternative loafing surfaces for cows that are both comfortable and cost-effective and can be incorporated into existing wintering infrastructure designs. Surfaces like rubber matting, pour-in-place surfaces, and loose fill bedding have been studied. This initiative is a joint effort between southern farmers, DairyNZ, the Ministry for Primary Industries and the Southern Dairy Hub.

Angus cattle are truly a remarkable and esteemed breed that hails from the scenic pastures of Scotland. This unique breed was expertly developed through a meticulous process of cross-breeding native cattle that were indigenous to the regions of Angus and Aberdeenshire. Characterized by their stocky and robust build, Angus cattle are immediately recognizable due to their striking black coats, which not only add to their visual appeal but also serve as a symbol of their strength and resilience.

Mentors make all the difference.

Leaving school at 15, Jesse and Sharon Bagley were told they’d never own a farm. But they’re well on their way — the couple now owns 44% of a 1,150-cow sharemilking equity partnership on Tupehau, a 336-hectare farm near Kaitaia. The farm itself is owned by Te Waka Pupuri Pūtea Trust, the asset-holding company of local iwi, Te Rarawa.

“Everything we have done was from experience and learning from our mistakes, listening to mentors and their advice,” Jesse says.

They have relished the support at Tupehau, with monthly online meetings with their advisers, including farm consultant Greg Mills and DairyNZ’s Board chair, Tracy Brown, who also chairs the Te Rarawa Farming board. During busy times of the season, they connect fortnightly.

“We have this awesome team behind us,” Jesse says.

“Everything we do we do as a collective, and with all that knowledge we are producing milk as efficiently and as environmentally friendly as possible.”
