The properties currently milk in excess of 2,200 cows, through three rotary sheds ranging from 50-54 bails. The portfolio is equipped with quality improvements including ten houses, various calf and implement sheds, quality effluent infrastructure and a consent to irrigate a portion of the property. The balance of deep river silt soils, rolling contour and the ability to partly winter on if preferred, make Argyll the productive large-scale unit it is. The Argyll Group dairy portfolio is a rare opportunity to purchase three highly productive dairy units with the option to further increase irrigation and production and a hub for easy management. The property is offered with a range of purchase options including all stock and plant. Predominantly an A2 herd, coupled with the Danone and Fonterra supply, Argyll is a premium portfolio with an unparalleled advantage.
