Owl Farm case study - Milk production

This page from Owl Farm, the Waikato demonstration dairy farm run jointly by St Peter's School and Lincoln University, reports annual milksolids production against the farm's budgeted and December milk targets.

It covers how an early, compact calving pattern and careful milking frequency changes are used to shift production into cheaper spring pasture months, given sandy loam soils that dry out over summer.
