Dairy lane repair
in Mossburn.
Mossburn is deer and dry stock country first - the deer capital of the country, under the Takitimus - but Northern Southland still milks plenty of cows through Five Rivers and Castlerock, and every farm up here runs on its lanes, whatever stock walks them.
How I sort it
The short version
- Shape first
- I regrade the lane and get the crown back so water runs off instead of sitting in the ruts.
- The right rock, only where needed
- Existing metal gets reused where it is sound, and I cart in fresh rock where the lane is starved.
- A cow-friendly finish
- The power rake screens the coarse stone out of the top and leaves a firm, even surface that is easy on feet.

The local picture
Around Mossburn
I will be straight: if you are running deer or sheep, the same lane problems apply, just with different feet on the surface - and I fix those lanes too. For the dairy blocks through Five Rivers, the work is standard hard-country lane repair: reshape, re-crown, tighten the surface. Mossburn is about 40 minutes from my base near Winton, on the good road toward Te Anau.
Getting to you
