Turner Farms

Southland New Zealand

Turner Farms milk 650 cows on a 54 bail Waikato Centrus platform in under an hour

Impressed by innovation, Paul Turner chose a Centrus Composite Kevlar rotary platform when he made the decision to convert part of his Southland farm to dairy. He chose a Centrus platform for its strength, lightweight construction and cow comfort.

“Buying a Centrus was a common sense choice to me - getting 22 tonnes of weight out of the platform is going to be a hell of a lot better for the longevity of everything underneath.

What cemented our decision was seeing it in practise. We saw a shed where they were breaking in heifers. The cows stood quietly in the bails on inlaid rubber mats, they were comfortable and content - this sealed it for us.”
