Tironui Farms Invests in a Stratos Gable Feedpad Cover for Year-Round Protection

Tironui Farms, owned by Murray Gibbs and operated by Logan and Sian Dawson (2024 Waikato Share Farmer of the Year), has taken another step forward in improving herd comfort and operational efficiency with the installation of a new Stratos Gable feedpad cover. Measuring 34 metres wide, 57 metres long, and 4.5 metres high, this impressive structure is built for strength, space, and reliable protection in all seasons.

Why a Feedpad Cover Matters

For farms like Tironui, where herd health and productivity are top priorities, a quality feedpad cover delivers real benefits:

• Weather protection – Keeps feed dry and animals comfortable during wet, windy, or hot conditions.

• Better feed utilisation – Reduces wastage and maintains feed quality.

• Improved herd health – Minimises mud and standing water, supporting hoof health and overall wellbeing.

• Operational efficiency – Allows consistent feeding regardless of the season.

Supporting Sustainable and Efficient Farming

Covered feedpads like the one at Tironui Farms also contribute to sustainable farming practices by reducing runoff, protecting waterways, and allowing for better effluent management. With environmental compliance becoming an increasing priority for the agricultural sector, this investment positions Tironui Farms well for the future.

A Strong Future Under Cover

With its combination of size, strength, and smart design, the new Stratos Gable feedpad cover will support Tironui Farms for years to come – ensuring livestock comfort, reducing wastage, and making day-to-day operations more efficient, rain or shine.
