Provicence Farm is a 367ha dairy platform, milking 1310 crossbred cows through a 70 bail rotary shed. Our milk is supplied to Fonterra Co-Operative. The farm is located on the Waitaki Plains, 10km North of Oamaru Township neighbouring the Oamaru Airport.

Originally irrigated primarily by borderdykes, the farm was converted to spray irrigation in 2017 which allowed for a significant paddock redesign. The farm is irrigated using 3 pivots, fixed grid, and k-lines by water sourced from Lower Waitaki Irrigation Company. The dairy has in-shed feeding, automatic cup removers, Protrack, and Allflex dairy cow monitoring technology.

By utilising sexed semen for Artificial Insemination in our herd, we can breed beef calves to be reared at Altavady Farm. Together we are reducing bobby calves and working towards better sustainable solutions.
