The Future of Feeding is Here: Driving Progress with Heart and Technology

In Australian agriculture, we believe in looking ahead while honouring the values that got us here: hard work, integrity, and a commitment to our community. The landscape of farming is changing, and at DOM Distribution, we’re passionate about bringing global innovation right here to our local producers, empowering them to not just keep up, but to lead the way. It’s about partnering with forward-thinkers to find practical solutions for the challenges of tomorrow.

This spirit of progress is perfectly captured at Struggle Downs, where Darren Hamlin is revolutionizing his family's Wagyu operation. For generations, feeding livestock was a constant, manual effort. As Darren explains, the traditional 24-hour feeding cycle is fraught with variables that are tough to control. But instead of accepting the status quo, he looked for a better way—a way to enhance precision, improve animal welfare, and drive real, measurable results.

The answer was automation. By partnering with DOM Distribution, Darren’s implementing the Greenline robotic feeding system. This isn't just about replacing old methods; it's about fundamentally reimagining them. "I believe the cattle need to tell us how they should be fed," Darren says. With the Greenline system's Eco Shuttles delivering fresh, precisely mixed feed up to 60 times a day, the cattle are in control. This data-driven approach mimics their natural grazing behaviour, leading to healthier animals and a more efficient operation.

This is what we mean when we say, "Let's Make it Happen." It's about more than just selling machinery; it’s about providing solutions that make a tangible difference. The Greenline system is a testament to this, offering reduced labour costs, optimal nutrition, and a level of consistency that was once out of reach. For Darren, having a local partner in DOM, just down the road, means the installation can seamless and the support always there.

We see the future of agriculture in partnerships like these—where innovative technology meets generations of farming wisdom. By embracing systems like Greenline, we're not just improving productivity; we're creating a more sustainable and prosperous future for our industry and our community, ensuring the next generation has the tools to thrive.
