An ambitious young operator Brian Williams with a lease farm in Te Aroha, looking to add to his business with a 240 cow 50/50 contract in Te Kauwhata.
As part of building the herd for this job, Brian had organised a well figured line of 75 and turned to Herd Partners for a funding solution.
The lease farm going on the market and disappointing productivity on the 50/50 operation saw Brian exercise the option to close the arrangement after one season.
Events don't always follow the business plan, but Herd Partners are ready to back Brian again for his next shot.
