Søren O’Reilly | Herd Health Drives Profitability

Søren And Sheena O’Reilly had been farming a couple of years together in the southwest of Scotland back in the early 2000’s, when they decided they wanted to change the way they farmed. They wanted to convert their cows to spring mating. They got in contact with a breeding consultant who turned out to be from New Zealand and he proposed the idea of them moving to New Zealand to dairy farm here. They took his advice into consideration, and they decided to move themselves and their four children to New Zealand. They moved to Southland as the climate is very similar to the climate they moved away from, and the region was full of opportunity.

Hear What Our Farmer Have To Say

" I looked at other industries like the pig and poultry industries and noticed a lot of them used crossbreeding a lot in their programmes. The benefit for me is I can use any bull from any breed and I don’t need to worry about inbreeding. It is all about maximising the heterosis effect that comes with cross-breeding, breeding healthy animals that last for a long time."

" The most exciting thing about the Fleckvieh is getting a dairy cow that lasts and holds its condition. "

" We have used a variety of beef in the past to try to reduce Bobby numbers, but most recently, our Short Gestation Belgian Blue has outperformed previous crops of calves from other breeds. We didn’t have to pull a single one in our last autumn calving. The Belgian Blue are vigorous and take to the feeders, unlike any other breed we have seen."
