B+LNZ Wairarapa Farming for Profit Field Day

For a long time now, we’ve referred to ‘Sheep and Beef’ farms indicating the driver of profitability has been the ‘sheep’. All that is changing with beef prices at record levels, and being forecast to remain strong. Don’t miss your opportunity to capitalise on these and extract value from your cattle.

Many farmers are running a higher cattle ratio, recognising the benefits of integrating cattle into their business from feed, farm system and labour efficiency perspectives. Get talking to a farmer though, and you can guarantee it won’t be long before the words “I just don’t feel like I’ve nailed my cattle trading system” are uttered.

Feel like you’re one of these farmers? Come along for a fun, informative and interactive day investigating cattle trading systems.

Topics covered

  • Pasture and grazing management.
  • Designing cattle trading systems – are they all equal?
  • Does the stock I buy matter?
