Chris Pyke
Accredited Dairy Consultant
BVSc., ASNM
Chris grew up with animals in his blood, with his father being both a Vet and a farmer. After becoming a vet himself he worked in clinical practice in Cambridge, mostly with dairy cows. He soon started looking at how things could be done to prevent animal health problems on the farm and became interested in "the whole farm approach" This led to him joining Headlands in 1995, and Chris has operated as a farm consultant ever since, servicing clients in the Cambridge District, and throughout the Waikato. Recently he has relocated to Kapiti and while continuing to service his Waikato clients he is also working with farmers in the south of the North Island. He has also been involved in and been on the boards of many equity farm partnerships and is currently involved as an equity partner and Director of a dairy goat farm.
He is passionate about dairy farming, both cows and recently goats, helping his clients capture the potential in their businesses and become more profitable and sustainable.
" My aim is to help my clients and meet the challenges of profitable and sustainable farming now and in the future." - Chris
