History;
The farm OGESTAD was bought May 2005 including 320 cows and machinery. The Calf
facility was built 2006. Another farm “Dvärgstad” was added in 2007. With more
land they got permit to house 700 cows and replacement 2008 and could add
another building and manure storage. 2010 they bought HYLLELLA with 400 cows 30
km away. 2011-13 they have been renovating, now housing 750 cows.
Ogestad and Hyllella today!
Together they have in total 1350 cows (700 and 650) and
1150 replacement. The farms consists today of 1250 ha farmland, 175 ha landscape
pasture and 440 ha woodland. The main production is milk and all farmland is
used to produce feed. Farmland is
used as follows; 230 ha for corn silage, 550 ha grass silage, 40 ha oats for
silage, 80 ha winter wheat and 350 ha spring wheat to combine.
In both farms the cows are milked in inside rotary
parlor. The average sold milk 2012 from 621 cows at Ogestad is 9937 kg and the
average sold milk from 719 cows at Hyllella is 9616 kg. In total 617087 +
6913904 = 13.084 781 kg
Most machinery is owned by them in a
Machinery company, but much of
transportation is done by truckers. In this company they also have 2 wood
harvest machines to take care of their own woods. Off course they also work for
other farmers with their machinery if they have time. They have also some income
renting out houses and hunting.
Workers;
They have 8 fulltime hired people to take care of the morning milking,
inseminating, calving and calves. 1 man is taking care of feeding and young
stock, one on each farm.
3 times milking per day, make 3 people in the noon 3
people in the evening this is done by special hired workers.
They have 4 people driving and taking care of all
machinery like repairing in housing.
Doing other work, where it is needed, is done by 3 working owners.
Book keeping is done by a lady working 20 hours a
month!
2012 they reached 56 million (each worker made 2, 45
million) this made a total return of 10,3 million. To make this work is well
planned budget.
Planning
for the future:
Some cows are easily milking 12-15.000 kg without
problem? All cows have the same feed?
We have to work hard with genetics and we will start
with SEMEX advise to use a lot beef semen and sexed on the better half.
1.
Working for higher production through getting better genetic, using embryo and
top Canadian genomic immunity sires together with a lot beef semen.
2.
Planning for growth and build new facilities for housing 1400 bulls for
slaughter. For this they have to
build new silage bunkers for 6500m3 like one 5000m3 manure pitch.
3.
Renting a nearby farm schools building for 80 cows and 200 ha land. On this farm
they will start to produce embryos from their own cows. Doing 16 flushing each
month and produce 1000 embryos they hope they will get higher production.
