Working with us

Versatility: Some clients simply need a one-off phone consultation or farm visit to address an operational issue. Most clients work with us on an ongoing basis, where we consult periodically to create and implement a strategic plan.

Farm visits: Being on farm with you, and looking at both the livestock and the paddocks is vital to assess the most practical and profitable way forward. This whole farm approach is vital to understanding your business, production system and environment.

Packages: We offer a flexible yearly livestock consultancy package, consisting of four to six visits per year at strategic times. At these meetings we drive around the property with you, gaining insight into how the livestock and pasture/crop systems are progressing, before reviewing the system (livestock weights, condition score, joining/scanning/marking results, pasture dry matter) and creating a plan of attack moving forward.  Each consultation comes with a written report including areas for improvement and detailing any nutritional, management or health considerations to improve profitability.
