You can’t save yourself into profit
Irishman Bill O’Sullivan has reluctantly agreed to go on the record…twice. His reason is simple. He is deeply concerned that too many New Zealand dairy farmers appear to have little idea about what “lead feed” is, what it does, how it helps minimise milk fever, and how that impacts across their whole business. Bill keeps meticulous records of cow health and events on their property.
Lofty life and production goals
Ferdie Vries is exactly where he wants to be – dairying on some of the best country New Zealand has to offer.
Lead feed works. End of story.
Bill O’Sullivan says getting cows safely through calving in Southland is their priority. Along with his wife, Keri Kahotea, and family they milk 800 cows in a 50-bail rotary on 271ha. They produce 370,000kg of milk solids a year. Dairy farming is a constant challenge, and no two days are the same.
Dodging downer cows
Southlander John Riordan knows just how exhausting, time-consuming and expensive that downer cows are at the start of the season. The former sheep and beef farmer converted to dairy in 2008 when the price of lamb “was going nowhere”.
