This ensures a consistent and easily accessible water supply for the animals. In addition to bore water, Carinya features smaller stock dams that contribute to the overall water resources available. A spring also plays a crucial role in providing water, supplying a smaller waterhole located between the silage pits and the fertilizer yard.

As for the compost yard, it serves as a central location for handling and processing dairy yard compost. The compost undergoes a meticulous process where it is initially placed on a designated pad and regularly turned over for a period of three months.
