Strong Interest in Evolution Automatic Calf Feeder at New Zealand’s Fieldays
We returned to Fieldays as demand grows for automated calf-feeding solutions in New Zealand.
The JFC Agri Team recently returned to Fieldays in Hamilton, New Zealand, exhibiting as part of the Ireland Pavilion at Mystery Creek. This event marked an important opportunity to reconnect with the New Zealand market following the launch of the Evolution Automatic Calf Feeder in the region in 2024. Over four days, the team met with farmers, industry stakeholders, existing customers, and potential distribution partners, with plenty of interest shown in the Evolution range.
Representing JFC at the event were Business Development Manager, Mick Keogh, Area Sales Manager, Peter Hilling, and Evolution Service Technician, Adam Waring.
Fieldays highlighted the growing appetite for labour saving technology. Globally, farmers are looking for ways to save time, improve feeding consistency, and support strong calf development. We are delighted with the uptake of the Evolution Automatic Calf feeder in New Zealand to date. As the largest agricultural event in the southern hemisphere, Fieldays gave us the opportunity to better understand farmers’ needs in an emerging market and continue those conversations from the last two years with both customers and businesses exploring long-term partnership potential.
Alongside the exhibition, the team attended the Irish Agrimachinery and Agritech Solutions Dinner, hosted by Enterprise Ireland. We joined fellow Irish companies active in the region. This was another great opportunity to strengthen industry connections and reflect on the growing presence of Irish agricultural innovation within the New Zealand market.
Returning to Feildays for the third consecutive year has really demonstrated the progress made since the Evolution Automatic Calf Feeder was launched and reinforced the opportunities that lie ahead for us in the region. Four days, countless conversations, and plenty of reasons to be excited about the road ahead. Thank you to Enterprise Ireland and everyone who visited the stand during Fieldays 2026. We look forward to seeing you at the next one.
