Independent Herd Consultancy
Expert oversight for your most important livestock decisions
The biggest moves in your business – buying a new line of stock, selling your herd, or planning your eventual exit – require more than just a gut feeling. They require a specialist advocate who knows what to look for and isn't afraid to ask the hard questions.
Our independent herd consultancy provides the expert oversight you need to navigate livestock transactions with total confidence. We’re not driven by clipping the ticket on the way through; we simply ensure that you, the farmer, get the best possible outcome through unbiased, data-backed advice.
Stock Sales & Purchasing Due Diligence
When you are purchasing new lines of animals or selling a portion of your herd, the stakes are high. We provide a ‘no-BS’ appraisal that looks far beyond the standard breed society logos or basic BW/PW figures.
For Buyers
We conduct a thorough analysis of the stock you’re considering, identifying potential risks and verifying that the animals match the vendor’s claims.
For Sellers
We help you prepare your herd for market, ensuring your data is presented clearly and professionally to attract the right buyers and the best price.
Strategic Herd Exit Planning
Exiting a herd isn't an overnight event; it’s a process that should start years in advance. We help you develop a 2-3 year ‘exit roadmap’ to ensure your herd is in peak marketable condition when the time comes to sell.
Marketability Audit
We assess your herd’s age structure, genetic trends, and desirable traits.
Value Optimisation
We identify and rectify the "undesirable" traits that could hurt your sale price, ensuring you exit your business with the maximum return on your investment.
Custom Advisory
If it involves cows and data, we can help.
Not every challenge on a farm fits into a neat box. If you’re facing a unique situation – whether it’s a shift in farm system, a significant change in breed direction, or a complex breeding challenge – we are here to act as your sounding board.
We pride ourselves on our agility and our ability to pivot our expertise to solve your specific problem. If we can’t help you directly, we’ll point you toward someone who can.
