Pasture Optimisation Advice 

The ability to maximise the grazing available to maintain the flock and to finish lambs is essential.

​

Understanding the grazing available and how best to utilise this is key. Optimising grazing through the use of modern grazing techniques will limited need for additional feed sources, and reduce expenses.

​

The option of growing other forage crops can be explored to extend the grazing season and introduce other sources of nutrients to optimise flock performance.
