Specialised Dairy Support


With our vendors selling their quality dairy unit located just 2.1km from this unit, they have opened up the option to sell separately this well set up dairy support unit that is located in the Thornbury district, just 30km from Invercargill.
The property is utilised as a specialist dairy support operation, currently grazing approximately 110 R1's that are wintered off farm for 6-8 weeks before coming back on farm and 115 May to May heifers, with the heifers then going off farm for winter before going into the main herd. The property also produces 352T of silage and 325 bales of baleage, which is achieved from the soils being of good fertility and good regrassing programme.
Excellent access with two road frontages and a partial internal lane system. Reliable bore on farm that is reticulated to all paddocks through a 40mm mainline. Infrastructure consists a 2 bay haybarn and of a good set of post and rail cattle yards with crush that are a good asset to the property.
