Pongakawa Springs Farm, 391 Rotoehu Road, Okere Falls

Come along to Pongakawa Springs Farm, run by the Burt Brothers Partnership, for an informative and practical day focused on getting your stock ready for market.

Whether you’re a sheep, beef, or dairy farmer, this on-farm event is your opportunity to pick up valuable tools to help you get the best return for your animals.

About the day

• Hear first-hand from Craig Liddell, Farm Manager at Pongakawa Springs, as he shares how they prepare their stock for sale - what works, what doesn’t, and the small details that have his lambs and calves making top weights.

• Braydon Schroeder, from Perrin Ag, will tap into pasture management knowledge from the dairy sector – including proven tips on making the most of your pasture growth curve to keep your animals in peak condition.

• Toby Power from Affco will facilitate an open discussion on market expectations, what buyers are really looking for, and how to present your animals for top dollar.

• Karl Weaver from Vetplus will lead a practical session on vet certificates and recognising summer illness in stock - stay ahead of seasonal health issues before they impact your margins.

Please BYO lunch. We will wrap up with a BBQ at the end of the day.

4wd vehicles only for the farm tour.
