The Paetaia Dairy Farm.

This unit occupies 390 hectares of our best soil type, volcanic clay loam, which is inland from the beef and sheep operation. The cows are never housed and graze in a rotation around seventy-five 5.5 hectare paddocks on the farm. In the spring we milk 1,200 cows. Cows are milked in a sixty-bail rotary dairy which is equipped with automatic cup removers and Protrack. It also has a purpose built calf rearing shed which houses 240 calves in 20 pens. The farm has a contract to supply winter milk to the Fonterra Co-operative. The New Plymouth to Wellington railway line runs through the farm for seven kilometres.
