Beefing Up Your Bottom Line In Southland

Glenn and Sheree Taylor farm a 134-hectare farm in Drummond Southland. Southland has both environmental and legislative challenges. The Taylors focus on creating good sustainable farming practices.
A key concern for the Taylors and many dairy farmers is the wastage and perception of Bobby calves. Glenn has been striving to reduce Bobby calf numbers and takes what would have been a waste product to create a valuable beef animal that can add value to the beef supply chain in New Zealand.
The earliest focus for the Taylors was to use the Samen NZ Short Gestation Belgian Blue sires to tighten their calving period and gain more valuable days in milk.
