Award-winning innovation on our campus farm
We’re pioneers of livestock performance, productivity and profitability, holding the Southwest Promar International Milkminder award. We’re also leading the way in crop biodiversity, as a base for ADAS’s environmental research plots.
400-hectare classroom
You’ll benefit from one 400-hectare commercial farming business across five rural sites that supplies Muller, Farmer Fresh and RJ Kerr. Our main 72-hectare Home Farm is on campus, with four other farms nearby.
Outstanding facilities
Our farm is home to cows, calves, sheep and arable land. We boast exceptional facilities including a dairy bull-beef rearing unit, a 296-cubicle dairy unit and a Shearwell Te Pari Racewell HD3 Sheep Handler, which forms part of our Livestock Handling Project.
