The Grange

Hear from Alistair Bird about how automatically monitoring kill sheet data in FarmIQ helps benefit The Grange.

The Grange farm is a mix of sheep and cattle, but the farm also includes other income streams including horse riding, farmstay accommodation and hay sales. 

Alistair and his wife, Genna, are winners of the Bayleys People in Primary Sector Award, NZFET Biodiversity Award, NZFET Innovation Award, and Environment Canterbury Water Quality Award.

“Trying to hit a target carcass weight, to have that data right there at your fingertips it'll help us track those variations in farm practices that then have an effect on the bottom line."
