Client spotlight’s
Each month, we shine the spotlight on one of the incredible owners or growers we’re proud to work with. Our Client Spotlight offers insight into who they are, what they do, and why they love working with New Zealand Grazing Company—and the benefits it brings to their operation.
JANUARY CLIENT SPOTLIGHT:
MATT AND CARLEY CONLAN
CONLAN FAMILY FARM LTD – OWNER
Matt and Carley Conlan are fifth-generation farmers based in Oroua Downs, just north of Foxton, farming land that has been in their family since the early 1900s. Running a herd of around 240 cows, fertility is a key focus of their operation.
Since grazing their heifers with New Zealand Grazing Company, Matt and Carley have seen a significant improvement in fertility and animal condition. Out of 70 replacement heifers, only one was empty—something they attribute to the feeding, care, and quality bulls supplied by NZGC. With fewer empties, they’re producing more milk and can be more selective with culling.
Their heifers are bigger, well-conditioned, and settle seamlessly into the milking herd, with noticeably calmer temperaments in the shed compared to previous years.
Future-proof your herd with smart heifer management
