Te Pa
Located at the Karioi end of the Oruakukuru Road.
Te Pa Station includes the land that made up Pah Hill Station, the 2007 winner of the BNZ Maori Farming Excellence Award, and Omerei Station. The award reflected a team effort and demonstrated a commitment to deliver a development strategy to lift the financial performance over a three to five year period.
The primary function is to grow the breeding, store and prime livestock to target live-weights. Te Pa will also finish up to 70% of the lambs breed and some cattle. All other stock are finished on Ohotu.
