The farm, part of family-owned business that includes several units plus a contracting business, enjoys excellent infrastructure with cow's cubicle housed in modern light buildings and milked three times per day through a highly efficient 24/48 parlour with excellent handling facilities and infrastructure to aid you in the care and management of the cows in your charge. Cows are achieving excellent results in terms of yield, milk hygiene and fertility results.
