Today, we celebrate the fathers and father figures whose hard work, knowledge, and dedication help shape the future of New Zealand agriculture.

Whether it's in the dairy shed, the workshop, the office, out on the road supporting farmers, or at home with the family, today we recognise the fathers and father figures who make a positive impact every day.

To our farmers, our team, our dealer network, and communities across New Zealand, thank you for all that you do.

Happy Father's Day from the Waikato Milking Systems team. 💙

🌼 Daffodil Day 🌼

Every year, we display daffodils throughout our business in support of Daffodil Day, the Cancer Society's annual fundraising campaign in New Zealand.

For many of us, cancer isn't just something we've heard about. It's a reality that has touched our families, friends, colleagues, and loved ones. In one way or another, most of us have felt its impact.

Today, daffodils can be found right across our business, brightening our workspaces and serving as a reminder of the hope, strength, and support that mean so much to those facing cancer.

A simple gesture, but one that reflects our commitment to raising awareness and supporting a cause that touches so many lives.

A heartfelt thank you to the Cancer Society New Zealand for the incredible work they do every day for those affected by cancer and their whānau.💛

🇺🇸 All hands on deck at Rolling Hills Dairy Farm, USA.

The pace is picking up in Wisconsin as multiple crews work side by side to keep this 70-bail Velocity rotary project moving forward.

Every piece is coming together to create the foundations for a highly efficient milking system. These behind-the-scenes stages may not be the most visible, but they're critical to ensuring long-term performance and reliability.

It's great to see the collaboration between Waikato Milking Systems, Total Dairy Service LLC, and Moa Rotary Platforms bringing this project closer to reality.

More progress updates coming soon.

🇺🇸 From bare ground to foundations down.

One month on, the Rolling Hills Dairy Farm project in Wisconsin USA is starting to take shape.

Since our last update, the groundwork has progressed from bare land to foundations laid and concrete poured, marking another major milestone towards the new 70-bail Velocity rotary.

The finished installation will milk a herd of 2,500 cows and feature Waikato Milking Systems technologies designed for efficient, reliable milking performance.

A great step forward alongside Moa Rotary Platforms and Dairy Service LLC.

More to come as the build continues. 🚧🐄

🌅 The sun is setting over HQ, and this project is off to see the world.

After months of planning, building and preparation, it’s packed up and ready to leave the heart of Waikato, New Zealand, bound for a farm on the other side of the world.

There’s a lot of work packed into that container, and it’s always a good feeling seeing a project leave the yard. It’s a team effort from start to finish, and we’re grateful to everyone who helped get this project ready for its journey and off to its new home.

Safe travels!🌎🚛🚢
