Abstract

This article discusses the successful farming practices of Myles Miller, a sharemilker at the Barr farm in Southland, New Zealand. Miller emphasizes the importance of pasture utilization and attention to detail in order to achieve consistent high performance. He pays close attention to round length, pre-graze covers, and post-graze residuals to optimize feed costs. Miller also focuses on managing feed costs by utilizing pasture first and filling feed supply gaps with the right supplements. He aims to breed cows with good feed conversion efficiency and strong udders. Overall, his strategies have resulted in profitability and strong financial and physical performance in his farming business. [Extracted from the article]
