Getting more data out of our sheep

Paul Coates runs a mixed enterprise of pedigree Beef Shorthorns and North of England mules with Cheviot and Scotch mules at his farm located near Carlisle, near Cumbria in the Eden Valley. The 420-acre farm is used mostly for grazing their animals with the aim to become as efficient with the animal data as possible. With over 1000 sheep to manage Paul began looking into sheep handling options to help with the recording of data whilst keeping labour to a minimum.

A Must for Lamb Traders

Aaron Haynes works at Bankhead enterprises, a 750-acre block near Fielding that trades lambs with some beef cattle and a bit of cropping. The recent addition of a Racewell Sheep Handler has made handling, weighing, and drafting lambs much easier and means that Aaron can do it by himself without even breaking a sweat. Aaron says, “It’s what you need for trading sheep, I think it’s a must.”

Why local manufacturing makes for better business

At Te Pari, we’re proud to say that we’ve always manufactured in New Zealand, we prioritise local suppliers and the bulk of the materials we need are produced close by - whether it’s the steel for our sheep and cattle handling equipment, or circuit boards for our automatic animal management systems. We’ve also long fought against the assumption that it’s too expensive to manufacture in New Zealand. We have shown that it can be done. You just need to do it right - and when you do, it brings a range of benefits.
