Research supports profitable farms
Chair’s message
AS I write this article, we are currently halfway
through calving and, so far, having a reasonable run. With the use of sexed semen, we have a good number of early season heifer calves on the ground. This time of the year certainly gets the strategic thoughts happening. Planning for silage, cropping and joining to name a few. One thing we are very fortunate to have to assist us with our breeding program is genomic testing. Genomic testing was developed by world class Australian scientists with data from Australian farms and cows. It makes an animal’s Australian Breeding Values (ABVs) much more reliable than if you were to use the average of the parents. The use of genomic testing on dairy heifers is rapidly increasing in Australia. The most recent data shows that over the past 12 months, commercial genotyping of females in Australia has almost doubled compared to the total number in 2019–20.
The DNA-based technology is a large investment that provides accurate information to make more informed breeding decisions. Genomic testing using the Australian genetic evaluation system analyses an animal’s DNA from a sample to better predict future performance under Australian conditions to produce a Balanced Performance Index (BPI) and Australian Breeding Values (ABVs) for each animal. Heifers can be tested as young calves, so farmers can make early decisions about their future in their herd. Genomic testing of dairy cattle has been around for quite a few years. On our farm we have been considering using this technology for some time but had always felt that either the cost was too high for the benefits or the sampling process too cumbersome. Sample collection is now so much easier, by getting an ear tissue sample — which can be taken at the same time as routine husbandry procedures such as ear tagging or disbudding.
Last year we gave it a go and tested all our 2020-born heifer calves. And we have instantly found the data beneficial. Accurate breeding information for each animal does give us the ability to make informed early breeding or culling decisions. It also provides an excellent tool if you are correctivemating cows and heifers. As more of our cows are genetically tested, we will continue to gain a clearer picture of our herd’s breeding capabilities. Genomic testing technology is another good example of research undertaken that is partly funded by our levy to develop tools for our industry. Our dairy industry should continue to invest in research and development that will have profitable benefits for all our Gippsland dairy farmers.

TERTIARY SCHOLARSHIPS OPEN STUDENTS FROM Victorian dairy commu-
nities who plan to start their tertiary studies in 2022 can now apply for a Gardiner Dairy Foundation scholarship. The foundation is offering seven tertiary scholarships to students starting full-time study in 2022. Each scholarship offers $10,000 a year for up to three years of a scholar’s chosen university or TAFE course. The tertiary scholarships are named in recognition of services to the dairy industry by Niel Black, Shirley Harlock, Jakob Malmo, Bill Pyle and Doug Weir. Gardiner chief executive officer Clive Noble said the scholarships were aimed at students who wanted to pursue a career that would directly benefit the dairy industry or dairy communities. “These scholarships invest in the education and training of young people from dairy
communities who have the potential to contribute to a vibrant dairy industry and to dairy communities in the future,” Dr Noble said. “We encourage students to return to dairy regions with their tertiary qualifications to share their new skills. “The scholarships help to overcome the financial disadvantage faced by rural students living away from home to study.” Hannah Thorson was awarded the Bill Pyle Tertiary Scholarship, which supported her in obtaining a Bachelor of Agricultural Science at La Trobe University in 2020. “It’s a very generous scholarship, so it was good to study without stressing about money,” Ms Thorson said. “It was also a great help for my parents. Without it, they would have had to help a lot more, so they have been very grateful as well.”
Veterinary graduate Mitchell Dodds received the Jakob Malmo Gardiner Foundation Tertiary Scholarship in 2014 and is now working as a vet at West Gippsland Vet Care in Warragul. “From a financial point of view, the Gardiner Dairy Foundation Tertiary Scholarship enabled me to really focus on my degree,” Dr Dodds said. “It’s difficult to work while studying veterinary medicine when you have 50 contact hours a week in the first two years of study.” Scholarship applications are now open. To be eligible, students must start their first year of full-time tertiary study in 2022 and due to study commitments need to relocate from home. To be successful, applicants will need to demonstrate intended future contributions to the dairy industry and communities as well as describe their community involvement and academic achievements to date.

Funds for irrigation works
SOCKS BRING SMILES
FARMERS WISHING to upgrade irrigation infra-
structure in the central Gippsland area can apply for funding under the Central Gippsland Irrigation Efficiency Incentives Program. “The aim of the program is to encourage irrigators within Central Gippsland to undertake farm planning and on-farm irrigation upgrades to improve irrigation practices, improve farm productivity and reduce the impacts of irrigation on the environment,” West Gippsland Catchment Management Authority’s Anthony Goode said. “Funding is available for such things as farm planning, both developing new farm plans or updating existing plans, and on ground works, such as installing reuse systems, converting flood to spray or drip irrigation systems or best practice surface irrigation, added Anthony.” In recent years, farmers have made significant changes to their irrigation practices with upgrades and improvements saving many thousands of megalitres of water and improving productivity on farm. “Certainly, farm businesses that have developed farm plans and made improvements to systems as a result see significant improvements in their operation, both in terms of time saved but also helping to make businesses more profitable,” Anthony said. Funding for the program is limited, and new eligibility criteria are in place.

Eligible infrastructure projects that meet the program objectives will be allocated through a random ballot process after the application period has closed. Applications close Friday, October 29. More information can be found at www.wgcma. vic.gov.au/for-farmers/incentives21 For further information please contact the irrigation team at the West Gippsland CMA on 1300 094 262 or email alexis.c.killoran@agriculture.vic.gov.au This project is funded by the Victorian Governments Sustainable Irrigation Program and administered by the West Gippsland CMA in partnership with Agriculture Victoria.
For a bit of fun during this year’s long and cold winter, Ridley partnered with Gippsland Dairy to send a pair of warm bright red socks to Gippsland dairy farmers. Along with the Aussie made socks was the opportunity to enter a competition to win awesome prizes including a $2000 Kincrome Tool Box, $600 Yeti Cooler or one of 20 pairs of Skellerup gumboots. To enter the competition, entrants were asked to answer the
question “I wear my Ridley Red Socks when….” Ridley received some very creative and cute photos, including Dayna’s goat Eddie (above left) flashing his best smile while wearing his Ridley red socks and Jameson (above right) looking super cute in his pair.

Success comes with planning BY JEANETTE SEVERS
SHARNA AND Shaun Cope, of Fish Creek in
Gippsland, are building their future through a succession plan involving his parents. Graeme and Jenny Cope employed Shaun for about a decade. The team, including two other full-time workers, milk 840 cows in a rotary dairy. The split-calving herd is mostly Friesian, with a small number of Jersey and crossbred cows. Graeme and Shaun produce about 1000 bales of hay and 2000 bales of silage off the property each year, buying in barley and canola as grain feed. As Shaun and Sharna started looking at options to buy their own farm, Graeme and Jenny offered them the opportunity to become sharefarmers and build equity, as part of a succession plan. “We began building herd equity in 2018,” Shaun said. “In an arrangement with Graeme and Jenny, we leased them back to Dad and took the proceeds in calves.” On July 1, 2020, Shaun and Sharna started sharefarming with Graeme and Jenny. With 100 heifers going into the herd so far, the number of leased cows has grown. When Shaun and Sharna became sharefarmers last year, they started with 35 per cent

equity — consequently receiving 35 per cent of the milk cheque. “We receive 35 per cent of the milk cheque and pay 35 per cent of the farm bills,” Shaun said. With more heifers coming into the herd this spring and next autumn, and some equipment purchases, by next year they expect to be on a 50:50 arrangement. “We’re building up our cow and production numbers to get to that,” Shaun said. “We’ve bought a couple of motorbikes and a tractor this year to add to that 50:50 share. “We also have the option of buying more cows off Dad and Mum.” Shaun and Sharna have their eyes firmly on their future, and that of their three sons — Trey,
Jett and Arli. The couple also bought 81 hectares of farmland next door to his parents’ farm, and built a house recently. The three boys — aged two, four and six — are now old enough for Sharna to be more involved in raising calves. The costs of calf rearing are also shared between the two couples, and DaviesWay automatic calf feeders have been part of the system for quite a while. With a large split-calving herd, shed and site preparation is rigorous and includes ensuring the shed is clean and lime goes down before woodchip bedding is laid each season. There are two pens at the front of the shed where Sharna teaches the calves to drink and

while she trains them to use the automatic feeders. “One-day-old calves get colostrum straight away,” she said. “They also get a paste product called BioBoost that helps to prepare their stomach. We give them a 1 ml injection of Multimin, and iodine teat spray on the navel cord.” They have been using DaviesWay BioBoost probiotic paste for about four years, and have

noticed it reduces the number of sick calves in the shed. “I usually have to train them to use the autofeeders and make sure they walk on properly,” Sharna said. “Every day, I go through the list of calves from the computer system, to identify any that haven’t fed. We have four auto-feeders — that’s one unit for 150 calves. As they get older, there’s less that haven’t drunk milk in any day.” She cleans the DaviesWay auto-feeders every day. The calves also have ad-lib access to water, Reid’s Stockfeeds calf meal and straw every day. “We use powdered milk for the calves’ daily feed,” Sharna said. “I empty three-to-four 20 kg bags of powdered VitaFarm Premium calf milk replacer — high in protein and fat — into the unit and it agitates it with warm water.” The unit regulates the daily portion for each calf — initially set at five litres — but they can alter that or regulate the amount via the computer program. “As the calf gets bigger, we increase the daily milk amount to six litres a day, then back off to three litres a day as they begin weaning and rely on more pellets and grain for nutrition,” Sharna said. Calves have access to the paddock from when they are eight weeks old. While Sharna is solely responsible for calf rearing, the calves’ ownership is easily identified. “Pink tagged calves are mine and Shaun’s, yellow ear-tag calves are Graeme’s and Jenny’s,” she said. DNA testing at 12 weeks is used to identify heifers that potentially meet production
targets for the herd. Excess heifers are sold to the export market. With 500 cows calving in spring, male calves are sold at one week old. Just over 300 cows calve down in autumn and these male calves are often kept until weaned at 12 weeks and sold through the local livestock agent. “We begin weaning the heifer calves at 12 to 14 weeks based on visual weight. Once they’re weaned, they stay in the calf paddocks until they’re about six months old, then they go to the run-off block until they’re 12 months,” Sharna said. “They stay on pellets until they’re 12 months; they each get three kilograms of pellets, along with silage, grass and water.” When the heifers attain maturity, Shaun and Graeme use a fixed time AI program, joining with Friesian sexed semen with one chance. “If that doesn’t take then they run with an Angus bull. Any empties are sold at preg-test time,” Shaun said. The herd’s joining program uses sexed semen too, with three AI attempts over nine weeks. Depending on production capacity of the cow, about 50 are carried over each year. Any other empty cows are sold, after preg-testing, into the cattle market. “Our long-term plans are building our herd equity and purchasing equipment as needed,” Shaun said. “Dad wants to step back and we’re pushing forward.” Production so far this year stands at 29 litres/ day/cow. Butter fat is 4.1 kg and protein 3.4.
Sharna Cope has taken on sole responsibility for calf rearing in the past year.
Calves receive six litres of milk daily, with ad-lib access to calf food, straw and water.
From eight weeks old, calves have access to the calf paddock adjacent to their shed.
Before autumn and spring calving starts, the calf shed is cleaned out and lime applied before woodchips are spread on the floor. Calves have ad-lib access to water, straw and calf meal, as well as the DaviesWay automatic calf feeders.

never more important than when there is more than one person involved. To help farmers recognise their goals and get on the same page, Dairy Australia developed Our Farm, Our Plan with support from Gardiner Dairy Foundation and DairyNZ. It’s designed to help farmers identify longterm goals, improve business performance and manage volatility. Stacey and Erwin Reesink recently completed the program. While they were doing the course, they went into a partnership with Erwin’s dad Johan and step-mum Anneke on a 168 ha farm in Fish Creek, milking 400 cows. Erwin’s family moved to Australia from Holland in 2012, and Stacey and her family moved from New Zealand in 2012. She’s originally from South Africa and has had a long-standing passion for farming, having relief milked while in school. They started sharefarming in 2014 in Wattle Bank and recently purchased their farm in Fish Creek with Johan and Anneke. They live on the farm with their three children.

on paper and get everyone on the farm on the same page. “We already had what we wanted in the back of our minds and then putting it into writing and thinking about it really pushed it to the next level,” Stacey said. “The course is also really great to get couples or various other people in the business to communicate about what they want or envisage the business looking like in the future. “You come up with a plan or goal everyone can work towards together. It gets people on the same page.” When putting the plan down on paper, Stacey and Erwin focused on a few core ideas. “Part of our actual plan was buying the farm,” Stacey said. “Trevor had offered the farm to us prior to the course starting — it was the ‘how’ we could achieve it was what we had to work out.” Using a simple ‘now, where, how, review’ planning process and providing one-on-one support for farmers over two years, Our Farm, Our Plan assists with putting each farm’s plan in place and into action. “Everything was decided during the course. We had a rough plan and then Matt and the

course helped us to knuckle down into the how and made it happen,” Stacey said. The program is delivered either as an in-person workshop over three sessions or via Zoom over six workshops and includes one-on-one sessions with a trained consultant/facilitator. “The course itself was very well laid out and I liked the fact that they sent out the folders. It made it heaps easier than us having to print it off,” Stacey said. “I really liked the process where you had to draw your vision of what you had to achieve. It actually made you think of what you want your life to look like. “I think very often as farmers we get very bogged down with day-to-day stuff. You forget what is the big picture. Why are you farming? What is your end goal?” Our Farm, Our Plan can be completed at any time in a farmer’s career. “The course is great for anyone at any stage of their business,” Stacey said. “If farmers want to take a step back, the course helps to come up with a ‘smart’ goal plan on how to step back. “It’s also very good for young people just coming into farming. Do they want to own a farm at the end? Or do they want to sharefarm and invest in houses? There are so many different routes.”
Part of Stacey’s positive experience was working in a group and hearing about other farmers’ experiences. “Doing the course with a mix of people was really beneficial. “We had family operations planning for the next step, but we also had other people moving into a more intense business structure or planning on stepping back.” Stacey’s advice to other farmers is to get out there and take advantage of other people’s advice and the available support. “Talk to older farmers. They have so much wisdom and very often we try and do things on our own. But there is a lot of wisdom they can pass on. “And be involved in a discussion group or anything to get you off-farm and to meet people. “Focus on what’s really important. Know what your priority is from the get-go. A lot of people run themselves into the ground before they realise it’s not sustainable.” GippsDairy is running a number of Our Farm, Our Plan programs over the next six months.
