Farming systems

Herd Solution

Grazing system

Production efficiency and the lowest cost of production are your main focus. You aim for a maximum output, whether it is milk volume or solids, per hectare of grassland and an optimum production per cow. As a consequence cows are not always fully fed.

Herd Solution

Semi-grazing system

You aim for a balanced output per hectare and production per cow (milk volume or solids). The system has built in flexibility to increase farm output when milk prices are high and decrease costs when milk prices are low.
