Forage

From quality milking silage through to dry cow feed — we can help source a range of forage products to suit your herd and feeding system.

Forage that does the job it's meant to do

Not every farm needs the same forage, and availability changes throughout the season. We work with multiple suppliers to help source the right product for your herd — whether that's high-quality milking silage or practical, cost-effective dry cow feed.

The conversation always starts with your system, your herd, and what you're trying to achieve. We then find what's available and what makes sense for your situation.

Milking Silage

Grass Silage

A staple of the NZ dairy diet — we can help source quality grass silage suited to your herd's needs and current availability.

Clover Silage

Higher in protein than grass silage — a useful option for herds where extra protein in the diet adds value to production.

Lucerne

High-protein, high-energy forage with good palatability. Availability varies by season — talk to us about what's currently on offer.

Dry Cow Feed

Dry Cow Silage

Lower-quality silage suited to the dry period — keeps cows comfortable and rumen function ticking over without overfeeding.

Hay

A reliable dry cow standby — good-quality hay is a practical way to keep dry cows fed and rumen function maintained through the dry period.

Straw

Effective fibre for transition and dry cow rations — helps manage energy intake and supports rumen health through the dry-off period.
