We get asked if we do farm tours. Yes, we do! We thought that we should post the cost and the information on what is covered on the personal farm tour.
The farm tour includes all aspects of setting up a profitable grazing operation. Past, present and future grazing scenario’s. Water, fence, paddock layouts, animal performance, building fertility without fertilizing, graze to trample ratio’s, building healthy litter bank. We give a grass genetic breakdown of what we have working on our farm with grass-finished animals.
We cover leasing land from scratch, working with landowners & items to focus on when leasing land.
We include our sheep management, past and present. We cover sheep breeds that work best, guard dogs, watering, fencing design, recovery periods, building parasite resistance, marketing.
Pastured layers following the cattle mob will be covered along with woods rotation using hogs.
All past mistakes and successes with our grazing operation will be discussed to give you a good road map of what works and what does not work. Will get an overview of proven materials to use with fencing and water development.
For booking a date, you suggest several dates that would work best for you. We check our farm tour calendar to hopefully book one of your suggested dates. 4 hour farm tours are limited to 8 people. The charge is $400 per group. A day-long tour is $800. If you’d like to include more than 8 people, please feel free to contact us for details.
Before you jump in and start your own grazing operation, come learn what works best and also the things that do not work. Why waste all your time and money at the start of your fledgling grazing operation making costly mistakes. Do it right the first time. You will be so much further ahead in achieving your dreams of owning your own profitable grazing operation. Oh yes, please bring your kids along for the tour!
