Livestock Production

A Whole Farm Approach

Livestock Production Services

At Yenda Producers Co-operative, our Livestock Production Advisors work alongside primary producers to strengthen livestock performance, profitability and long-term sustainability. We combine practical on-farm experience with science-based knowledge to deliver tailored advice for sheep, beef and dairy enterprises across the Riverina and Northeast Victoria.

Our team brings together extensive technical training, science-based qualifications and practical industry experience. We collaborate closely with Yenda Prods agronomists to align pasture production with livestock performance, and our broader livestock industry network connects producers with additional expertise whenever required.

Our Livestock Production Advisors are available by phone, in-branch, or on-farm, travelling directly to properties to provide hands-on support. This service is widely used by producers across the region and reflects the strong culture of knowledge-sharing within the Yenda Producers community.

Worm Monitoring & Diagnostics

Effective parasite management is critical to livestock productivity.

We have WormBoss-accredited operators at our Leeton, Griffith and Wangaratta branches, with in-house Faecal Egg Count (FEC) testing available. This enables faster diagnosis and timely decision-making to help prevent worms becoming a production issue.

Yenda Producers is also able to provide recommendations to accredited laboratories for feed analysis and further testing when required.

Ruminant nutrition advice and customised ration formulation

Supporting dairy, beef, and sheep producers across Northeast Victoria, Geraldine Perkins works alongside our livestock production and agronomy team to deliver integrated, results-driven support.

As a ruminant nutritionist, Geraldine works closely with producers to optimise livestock performance through tailored feeding strategies, balancing animal health, productivity, and cost-efficiency. Her practical, on-farm approach ensures nutrition plans are aligned with each operation’s unique production goals.

If you would like to organise a time for Geraldine to visit your farm, contact her on 0427 566 656 or email gperkins@yendaprods.com.au

This tailored support is available on a fee-for-service basis.
