A 500 cow yard capacity, with two backing gates and dungbuster, provides good flow into the dairy and saves wash up time.Close to the dairy is a 500 cow concrete feed pad with plenty of bin space for the cows. Three large concrete silage bunkers and two covered palm kernel bins are adjacent to the feed pad. The farm currently milks 460 cows with split calving 100 cows in the autumn and 300 cows in the spring, with production average of 290,099 milk solids over the last three years. Traditionally plus 60 carry overs, cow numbers have been close to 480. The effluent goes into a weeping wall with vibrating screens. Liquid is then pumped through a slope screen to remove further solids and then housed in a three million litre Permastore tank. From here it is pumped out to irrigate 38 hectares as well as green water waste pumped to two concrete tanks that flood wash the feed pad. Excellent quality water is sourced from a bore (100m) located next to the dairy shed and stored in two 25,000 litre tanks. It is pressure reticulated around the farm via 32m alkathene mainlines with 25mm and 20mm feeders to the troughs.A very good all-weather race system fans out from the dairy shed giving easy access to all 43 paddocks.
