902 Galaxy Road, Tokoroa, South Waikato

Quality South Waikato dairy

Located just 12 minutes drive east of Tokoroa, this well-presented dairy farm has been in production for 16 years, and consists of easy undulating to rolling contour with some hillocks typical of the area. Production last season was a farm record of 306,230 kg milksolids from 630 spring calved cows. A feature of this property is the predominantly loam soils with very good fertility levels, enhanced by the annual application of chicken manure. The herd is wintered on-farm, grazing swede crops which form part of an annual re-grassing programme. The farm spans both sides of Galaxy Road and is linked by an underpass, with all 65 paddocks accessed via wide races maintained by two on-farm rhyolite quarries. Excellent farm infrastructure includes a 50-bail rotary dairy with in-shed meal feeding and automatic cup removers, feed storage in two 16-tonne silos plus a covered 30-tonne PKE bunker, and calf rearing and implement storage is well catered for in a 7-bay shed plus a lockable workshop. Two new water bores ensure a reliable water supply and twelve tanks provide ample storage capacity. Effluent is pumped over 80ha via a travelling irrigator direct from a sump or from the lined pond. The farm aesthetics are enhanced by approximately 18 hectares of fenced off and regenerating native bush. Three modern brick and tile homes complete the picture, providing good quality accommodation for both owners and farm staff.
Whether you are an owner operator or an investor, here is a great opportunity to secure a quality dairy unit with modern infrastructure and achieving good production levels.
