00:00I'm Daniel Redgrove, fifth generation dairy farmer. I've been nominated for the Australian Sustainability Awards.
00:07I'm owner-operator of Nundar Pastoral Company, alongside my wife, Sarah, my parents, John and Alison.
00:13We're located here in Singleton, the Hunter Valley, New South Wales.
00:16My passion started back in 2004, 14 years of age, involved with cows and showing cows.
00:22I started Nundar Holsteins in 2004.

00:38cool,
00:38then they lay on the bedding. We flood wash every six hours, we separate the manure from the liquid.
00:45The liquid gets used to water our grasses, our crops, and then we take the solids, we dry them,
00:51let them pasteurise, cook themselves to 72 degrees, and this is the final product.
00:56This goes in for bedding for the cows to actually lay down and be comfortable.
01:00It's all about herd health and maximising the genetic potential of our Holstein cows.
01:05Well, we're all about the good barrels here.
01:06But memories we've got all the time.
01:08They're a natural ones, and it's when they're not really reaching out.
01:09If the seedlings was a lot moreıyor, we don't have one.
01:09It separated out of time, but it always knows.
