Lactanz 1 Dairy Farm
1200 cow dairy farm in South West WA, where the fun is endless.
That’s that. Last load as we move on to greener pastures.
It’s been a great two years on lactanz1.
Probably not long enough to achieve what we wanted to but we’ve turned this place around from where it was.
We’ve met some fantastic people that have floated through here (some are still here) and made some very special friendships along the way.
To those people that helped make this farm become successful Thankyou. We really could not have done it without you. The amount of work that has been put in to get all the extra jobs done has been phenomenal.
To our boses in Melbourne Thankyou for the opportunity to manage this place and the support to get done what needed to be done a long the way.
Bye for now.
Cheers
Jay, Laura and the tribe.
You’ve just got to love spring. Muds gone. Grass is growing. cygnets are about. And the cows are pumping the milk.
Shelter belt for calves done. Trees in fence up.
Finally getting the girls coming in dripping milk. Been two years hard work by our team. Now it’s paying off🥛🥛🥛🥛🥛🥛🥛🥛🥛
Some fert going out, cows are going to love it when they head out on this grass.
Today we said goodbye to Zack and Yvonne,
We loved having you both here, thanks for all the work you both put in it was greatly appreciated.
Two kids wanted to help feed calves this morning. Two kids are now wishing they had stayed in bed 🤣 “Mum we’re cold”. 🥶❄️
A couple of hard earned beers with a wonderful hard working crew.
MAIZE FOR DAYS.
Well what a huge weekend of work.
Great effort from our small team to keep farm ticking over whilst covering two massive maize stacks.
Also thanks to mick kelly and his crew. Smashed it lads. 650 truck loads of maize.
Thanks to Nathan Tognela and Steve at Busso Ag for all your advice and guidance.
Still a week or two from chopping. Looking fantastic still.
More maize shots. Gwowing nicely.
