Building a Ridgeback®: The benefits outweigh the cost. The results of the Rangers Valley trial, where partially covered housing in the final 100 days boosted cattle performance – as presented by Dr Melissa George at BeefEx’s R&D session.
Learn how strategically designed infrastructure boosts on-farm productivity and peek into some of Australia’s leading feedlot operations at Beef 2024.
Entegra – Australia’s innovative on-farm infrastructure design and construction company – will demonstrate how its patented Ridgeback™ product is changing the way feedlots such as Rangers Valley, Teys Australia and Stanbroke feed cattle under shelter.
Hear how the Ridgeback™ design delivers natural ventilation, while providing animal welfare, employee, and pen management benefits at the Entegra booth in the Walter Pierce Pavilion.
Entegra Director Greg McCalman said Entegra is known for designing infrastructure to solve on-farm challenges and provide structures that not only last a lifetime – they deliver a tangible return on investment through cost savings and productivity gains.
“Beef producers can benefit from investing in commodity storage and add Entegra’s Taperflow™ high volume gutters to maximize water collection to supplement stock requirements, or use for spraying,” he said.
“If anyone has open deals with us – perhaps we’ve chatted about upcoming projects or even visited your farm– Beef 2024 is a great opportunity to revisit your plans and discuss any business developments that could influence your infrastructure investments.”
Entegra customers are also taking advantage of Federal and State infrastructure funding to build grain, fodder, and commodity storage to prepare for, and manage drought, while enhancing productivity.
“Some states have loans up to $1 million available to build drought infrastructure,” Greg explained.
“To make it easier for Entegra customers to apply for these grants and loans, Entegra is offering an ‘Exclusive Grant Assistance’ program to help farmers with the cost of professional grant applications.
“Come and chat with the Entegra team at Beef 2024, it’s never been a better time to investigate your shedding options.”
