Established in 2004, Brett and Nadia Dixon joined as shareholders in 2015 and subsequently purchased the business outright in 2020. Brett comes from a strong farming and animal health background striving to grow competitive and robust replacement in calf heifers. Both farmers and growers are fully contracted giving both parties clarity and assurance. Stock are monitored and recorded on systems specifically designed for purpose by WHG Ltd and regular reports are supplied to the clients and growers. Despite the disruption of the Mycoplasma Bovis and Covid outbreaks, the business has proven that running robust systems and processes limits risk. Traditionally dairy replacements have been thought of as a cost, an expense to be kept as low as possible to enable feed and resources to be directed to the lactating herd. More and more people, including successful dairy experts and scientists, now agree on the importance of heifer growing for profitability and sustainability of the farming business.
