Dry off - the crappy job that is done at the end of the season that no one looks forward to. Well our lean "moving assembly line" dry off process is less stressful for our people & cows. Why work harder when you can work smarter right? That's the beauty of lean. Part 2 #leanfarm

One of our farms strategic priorities is “connecting with our community” & so it was fantastic to welcome year 1 kids from Colyton School to our farm today to learn about cows, farming, where milk comes from & all the yummy food made from milk. Thanks everyone for a fun day!

Every year we have a Strategy Day with our team just after we dry off. We review the previous season, discuss big picture thinking, explore future possibilities, discuss & set targets for the next season & have a bit of fun. Here is what we did this year. #leanfarm #strategy

Excited to get this little project done - our own farm brochure, that we can use for visitors/partners, & importantly for our recruitment & new team members to give them a consistent introduction to our business/way of working & set expectations.#theleanfarmproject #leanfarm

Excited to be ticking this off for this season. posts/fencing in for more shade trees in our paddocks. Trees in next week. We follow MPIs five animal freedoms (right to shelter 1 of them). Shade is vital to prevent heat stress & helps maintain production. #happycows #leanfarm
