Sharpes Farm Feeds

🌱 World Environment Day 🌱

Looking after animals starts with looking after the environment they depend on.

At Sharpes, we're proud to manufacture our feeds right here in New Zealand using quality ingredients sourced as locally as possible. We also choose not to use palm kernel in our feed formulations and package our products in 100% recyclable bags.

These are just some of the ways we're working to support New Zealand farmers while helping build a more sustainable future for the next generation.

What sustainable practices are making a difference on your farm or lifestyle block? Let us know below. 👇

Last night the Sharpes crew headed out for a team night… backing Sam through yet another viewing of his all time favourite - Top Gun (The 40th anniversary) ✈️😂
We then enjoyed lovely team dinner, with plenty of laughs, and yes… someone went all out and rocked a Maverick outfit 👀
A great night with a great crew 🙌

Temperatures are dropping… is your feed plan keeping up? ❄️

As it gets colder, animals need more energy to maintain condition and stay healthy.

A few simple tips:
✅ Make sure feed quality is consistent
✅ Keep up energy intake
✅ Ensure animals always have access to feed

If you’re unsure what changes to make, we’re here to help.

Raising chicks? 🐥

This is something too many people miss 👇

Young chicks are highly vulnerable to coccidiosis, a common disease that can seriously affect their health and growth.

That’s why feeding Sharpes Chick Crumbles with cocci protection, early on is so important. It helps give them the best possible start while their immune systems are still developing.
