The Bushy Park Hampshire Stud, once de-registered, has been rejuvenated in recent years by
Sam Young and Emma Shaw, earning recognition at agricultural shows and developing a growing clientele.
With a good dairy payout and interest rates dropping 2025 is looking positive for the Giles family as they sell
their dairy farm Waimumu Downs. Rising production costs for our price-taking dairy farmers see them striving
to get more out of every dollar they spend at Claxby Farm.
