Congratulations to Kuljeet Singh (KJ) for Reaching the New Zealand Dairy Industry – Canterbury/North Otago Awards Finals!
Kuljeet Singh (KJ) has earned a place in the final round of the prestigious New Zealand Dairy Industry Awards (Canterbury/North Otago region), recognising his dedication, innovation, and commitment to excellent farm management. Managing a herd of 730 cows at Penbridge Farms in partnership with James and Lynley Proctor at Pendarves, KJ has focused on improving herd health, productivity, and overall farm efficiency.
“As a farm manager, my goal has always been to prioritize the well-being of my cows,” says KJ. His work emphasises a balance between animal welfare and operational success, a philosophy that has contributed to his recognition in the awards. KJ’s approach to farm management involves using advanced tools and expert guidance to drive improvements. With the support of Nutritech and CowManager, he has concentrated on optimising the transition period and refining feeding strategies. These efforts have led to better cow health, increased milk production, and greater efficiency on the farm.
“The CowManager Nutrition Module has given me insights into my herd that I never thought possible,” KJ explains. “It helps me detect issues early, like changes in feed intake or health concerns, allowing me to act quickly. The app is easy to use, and the real-time alerts mean I can stay connected to my herd no matter where I am.”
KJ also credits Nutritech for providing valuable nutritional guidance. “Their advice helps me design feeding programs that give my cows the nutrients they need to stay healthy and productive. This has made a noticeable difference in both milk quality and overall herd performance.”
Reaching the finals of the New Zealand Dairy Industry Awards is a testament to KJ’s hard work and forward-thinking approach. “Being recognized in these awards is an incredible honour. It reflects the dedication we put into the farm every day, and I’m proud of what we’ve achieved,” he says.
KJ’s commitment to continuous improvement and animal welfare has set him apart as a leader in the dairy industry. His success at Penbridge Farms highlights how innovation and attention to detail can drive meaningful results.
Congratulations again to KJ Singh on this outstanding achievement, and best of luck in the finals!
