Shearing legend hooked on CanAm
Sir David Fagan, world-renowned competitive sheep shearer with 642 shearing titles worldwide and a knighthood to his name, now runs beef and dairy operations near Te Kuiti with wife Wendy and son Jack.
The Evo S4 Automatic offers advanced features and user-friendly technology, including a dual hopper system, each with a 30kg capacity, and dual mixing bowls.
This allows the dispensing of two different types of calf milk replacers simultaneously, offering the flexibility to ensure each calf receives the precise nutrition needed for optimal growth and health.
Able to feed up to four calves simultaneously, with individual calf registration via RFID technology, the control unit manages each calf’s feeding schedule, with each animal able to be assigned one of seven predefined feed curves tailored to their nutritional needs and rearing objective, while also. ensuring no calf exceeds its allocated feed amount.
