Rene and Rendi Ebert are the sixth generation of family that farming here. They have been running cattle breeding for a long time, but had started milking them only in the mid 90s. Now 45 employees are working at the farm with 3700 heads of cows, 3500 of replacement youngstock and 700 bullocks. They cultivate 2630 ha of land, about 20% of this lands they are harvesting twice per year.

They are keeping purebred Holstein and Jersey cattle, trying to raise the portion of last breed in the herd. In order to do this, they inseminate about 30% of Holstein with Aberdeen-Angus semen. Their offspring are raised for the production of beef. Aberdeen breed cows, whose traces are undesirable in herd in the reproduction program. Dairy cows are kept in the herd for 4 lactations.

Recently, dairy cows were milked in parallel milking parlors: 2×26 and 2×8 (for fresh cows). Now they are milked in 80 stall Rotary parlor.

They replace herd with own resources. 500 calves fed with an automated feeding system simultaneously. The system consists of 5 blocks x 4 sections each, and each section feeds 25 calves.

Just after calving, calves are kept in individual hutches for 7 days/ Calves are trained to suck the nipple. First two days they are fed with 2 kg of milk, each morning and evening. Starting from the 3rd till the 7th day 3.6 kg (a gallon) of milk are fed each morning and evening.

On the 7th day calves are grouped for automated feeding and the daily norm of feed is gradually increased. Till the 18th day they receive maximum portion of feed: 10 kg of milk for Holstein and 8 kg for Jersey.

Portion of milk is reduced by 600 grams daily, starting from the 42nd day.

They are fed normal and problematic milk in equal portions. Automated system is equipped with dispenser for adding vitamins and iron supplements.

Heifers are inseminated in age of 11−12 months.
