New Cattle Yards improve efficiency and safety at Rakaia Island Dairy Farm
Nestled between the forks of the Rakaia River, Rakaia Island is one of New Zealand's largest dairy operations, with 6 farms, 5,000 cows, and 2,500 young stock spread across 3,000 hectares. At the heart of this thriving family-owned enterprise is Duncan Bridgeman, the Livestock & Cropping Manager, who recently upgraded their facilities with a new Te Pari Cattle Yard and Lenta Crush. This custom-designed setup has significantly enhanced efficiency and safety on the farm, making cattle handling easier and more enjoyable for the staff.
