Country & Co are privileged to be bringing to the market this extremely well-presented dairy unit, located in the Maitland district, 14km from Gore. Featuring quality infrastructure, including a modern 54 bail high spec rotary cowshed, well set up effluent system, good housing and calf rearing facilities. The land is balanced with flat to soft rolling contour, along with established shelter, well raced, watered and fenced throughout. Previously up to 300 cows wintered on farm and 170 wintered on farm this season. Last seasons production of 285,000kg MS from 575 and budgeting 300,000kg MS ex 600 cows this season. The recently renewed dairy consent for 700 cows until 2034 which incorporates a neighbouring lease utilised for young stock and grass supply makes this an attractive proposition. Seldom do dairy units, with all these key attributes of a great location and infrastructure come to the Southland market.
