Herd Home Cleaning in New Zealand’s central north island
Professional, EFFICIENT effluent management
Herd homes are designed to protect your paddocks and animals by housing cattle during wet periods and collecting effluent for reuse on your farm. Over time, solids naturally build up in the bunker system, reducing efficiency and increasing the risk of odours, blockages, and nutrient loss.
Regular herd home cleaning keeps your system running safely and efficiently, prevents effluent overflow, and helps you meet environmental compliance requirements. It’s a simple way to safeguard herd health, maximise effluent reuse, and extend the life of your infrastructure.
At Reid & Harrison Services, we specialise in herd home effluent management across the Waikato, Bay of Plenty and surrounding areas, providing fast, tidy, and sustainable cleaning solutions for local dairy farmers.
