NZIPIM

Come and visit Paul & Kevin Schuler's dairy cow and milking goat farm. The farm is 216ha eff with 450 cows calving in the autumn and 1250 goats kidding in the spring. The Schuler's integrate the two businesses by designating more land area for the cows through the autumn and winter, then less area in the spring to support the milking goat operation.

The Schuler's will discuss:

How the business evolved
Labour efficiencies generated from the system
Crops used to feed supply and demand is met throughout the season
How and why they use OAD milking with the dairy cows
Their purchasing policy for empty cows
Using wasted goat feed to supplement the cows
