45 South Grazing

45 South Grazing – New Zealand Grazing Opportunities.

Grazing has become an integral part of many enterprises in the changing farming world that we are now operating in.

 

Here at Compass Agribusiness, we have established a specialist grazing management business (45 South Grazing Ltd) to provide a sustainable grazing implementation and management option for farmers.

At 45 South we can provide a bespoke, collaborative, solutions-based model for Graziers and Stock owners. From implementation to stock monitoring and monthly invoicing we will manage the process to meet the needs of our customers.

Areas such as environmental sustainability, animal welfare, and a strong network will be critical to the future of grazing in New Zealand. Access to specialists in these areas within the broader Compass team offers grazers and stock owners access to a unique robust model providing confidence within a very challenging environment.
