WHERE
Drumpeel Farms Limited is a family-owned business in Poukawa, Hawke’s Bay, covering 1,400 ha on Horonui Road and 600 ha on Drumpeel Road. They run a high-performance lamb and bull finishing system alongside intensive arable cropping, finishing around 1,400 R2 Friesian bulls and 8,000–10,000 trade lambs annually, plus a small sheep breeding flock.
Both properties have strong infrastructure, with Drumpeel focused on cereal, vegetable, and small seed production. Seasonal priorities shift between cropping in spring and livestock in autumn. Investment in technology and systems underpins the farm’s high-performance, forward-focused approach.
