WHAT WE DO…
Leah Baldwin at NZ Grazing South offers a personalised service for both heifer growers and dairy farmers throughout Otago Southland. Using grazing contracts based on a cents per kilo of DM eaten and a feed management software programme called MDM. Monitoring individual heifer performance, health and well-being every 30-45 days optimum results are achieved that benefit for both owner
and grower.

WHY CHOOSE NZ GRAZING SOUTH? With our MDM system we operate differently to other grazing companies. To ensure both owner and grower benefit from the final outcome we have monthly check in points and communicate monthly, we set base and optimum targets, have proven systems and metrics in place and processes to ensure a successful outcome.

HOW ARE WE DIFFERENT? Here's some of the ways we operate that benefit you and are unique to NZ Grazing South. We provide:
A COMPLETE SERVICE – animal health insurance, death compensation, vet needs, vaccinations, mating, bulls, AI, everything is recorded. A DEDICATED, SPECIALIST SERVICE PROVIDER – This is what we do, and we pride ourselves on doing it well. You are our priority. GUARANTEEED PAYMENT – we pay our growers regardless even if an owner’s payment is not yet received by NZGS. A FAIR PROCESS WITH REDUCED RISK, EVERYONE GAINS - The owner is only paying for the amount of feed consumed/converted to weight gain. The grower is only being paid for the amount of feed consumed/converted to weight gain. No other grazing provider does this as fairly as we do. PAYMENT FOR WEIGHT GAIN – Our MDM system takes the amount of weight the animal has gained and converts this to feed consumed (in kilos of DM) , the grazing fee is then calculated at cents per kilogram.
