That’s how I was brought up when I was a kid and it is pretty cool to be able to do that with our own children.” While Nicole has previously reared calves and been more involved with farm work, her hands are now usually very full with two young children, and aside from helping out when she can her main farm role is the very significant amount of bookwork required in their farming business. “Now that we have achieved our goal to become herd owning sharemilkers and we can start looking at where our next step is.

Right now, we are paying back as much debt as we can, so that when opportunities do come up we are in a position to take advantage of those opportunities.
