Country and Co are favoured with instructions to bring this established dairy farm to the market, located 19 km from Gore township. Originally farmed as a dry stock property, the current owners converted to dairy in 2009. Significant capital investment has been made across the property, including the development of the dairy infrastructure, housing, lanes, regressing, drainage, fencing and effluent systems. Additional improvements include a concrete silage bunker, covered wintering shed and an on-site rock quarry.
The farm operates on a low cost, once a day milking system, currently achieving close to 400 kg MS per cow. All cows are wintered off farm on the vendors support block, which was purchased in 2023. Effluent consent is valid through to May 2029 up to 400 cows twice a day. There remains genuine potential to lift production should a new owner choose to transition away from the current OAD system.
