Farming has always been the core business of the Waikura Valley and with the now combined operation of Te Kumi, Pakira, Waikura, Rewetu and Mohau Stations improvements are set to be made to further complement this history and enhance the whole operation based on modern farming techniques.

In 2021 we decided to focus only on breeding, as previously we did also finish some stock. This decision was made to simplify the operation, while taking in consideration the topography of the land.

Our team have made significant improvements in recent years to what has traditionally been low priority infrastructure across the stations. This has resulted in significant investment in infrastructure including Fencing, Wool sheds, Housing, Internal tracks and roading and operational equipment. Looking forward, further infrastructure enhancements will be made with Fencing, Pasture improvements and Stock quality a key focus.
