Farm size: 2,100ha in total (1,775ha in dairy and the balance in drystock or the orchard) Herd size: 4,700 dairy cows with 4,400 calving this spring, 200-400 beef cattle farmed as trade cattle, 500 dairy-Wagyu calves reared and sold at weaning or finished..... www.farmersweekly.co.nz/iwi-make-a-success-of-return-to-the-land/
