The Issues: Native Pastures

superuser — Wed, 24 Oct 2007 15:55:08 +1000

We used to set-stock our native pastures. Grazing them for a short period and then resting them has rejuvenated the perennial component of our pastures. I can see that grazing management has the potential to double my stocking rates. We also get less bare ground and less erosion because we have better control of our stock.
Bill Hoffman, Jamestown, SA

Significant areas of the high to medium areas of Australia’s grazing land still contain native pastures and are a significant feed base for wool production.

Native pastures can provide a green pick through out the year, which is important in maintaining the high tensile strength often found in wool grown from these pastures.

Better farm management with Quickchecks

Fri, 29 Jun 2007 00:29:00 +1000

Want a quick an easy way to measure what is going well on your land to clearly identify any issues that may need action?

Quickchecks - a useful new guide for woolgrowers, will provide you with the tools to measure the health of your pastures (including ground cover), soils, woody vegetation, farm watercourses, paddock production levels and birds.

Quickchecks will assist you to:

* Track the changes which occur over time on your land
* Improve land health from whatever the starting point
* Use this valuable information as part of normal decision making to improve business performance

Mulga as a feed source

Wed, 31 Jan 2007 10:55:36 +1100

The brochure called ‘Mulga as a feed source’ has been developed from existing Department of Primary Industries & Fisheries Queensland web pages, printed materials, and scientific and extension experience, to facilitate discussion on the role of mulga in feed budgets.

It canvasses a range of relevant topics including:

* Mulga feeding in your drought management strategy
* Mulga as a fodder source
* Fodder value
* Costs and benefits of feeding mulga
* Mulga or pasture?

Successfully Managing for Profit and Sustainability in the Pastoral Zone

Sun, 29 Oct 2006 11:33:24 +1100

A passion for operating successful, profitable and environmentally sympathetic wool-based businesses in the pastoral zone typifies five woolgrower families profiled in the latest Land, Water & Wool Insights publication.

Covering one-fifth of Australia’s continent, pastoral zone properties are bigger, dryer and more reliant on native vegetation systems than any other group of woolgrowers in Australia.

The Managing Pastoral Country Sub-program has worked with woolgrowers to identify how pastoral country can be better managed to address key environmental issues while maintaining productivity.
