Seeing is believing, and the team at Redpath believe once their dairy standoffshelters are seen in action, farmers will be convinced of their benefits.
Local rep, Dean Shepheard, says Redpath dairy standoffshelters give farmers the flexibility to manage their stock during poor weather and when pasture conditions are wet.
He says the clear roof design of the sheds is a deliberate design choice. "As well as providing warmth and comfort, it promotes speedy floor and effluent drying which helps reduce bacteria levels".
Glen Williams, director of Redpath, says the roof membrane used by Redpath, is of an industry leading thickness. "It is designed to resist the tough Taranaki environment."
Animal welfare is another important feature, says Glen. "The popular deep-litter woodchip floors give superior cow comfort and resting time." Using shelters helps minimise waste and increases the uptake of feed and supplements Glen adds.
