Pasture Managment

Achieving robust pasture growth is essential for sustaining healthy livestock and maximizing forage yield. Explore effective strategies for soil preparation, species selection, and seasonal management to ensure your pastures remain lush and productive throughout the year.

Maximising pasture utilisation

Maximise pasture by grazing at the right time and hitting target residuals for better regrowth and utilisation.

Maximising white clover

Boost white clover success: get fertility, sowing, and grazing right for top pasture performance and nitrogen gain.

Big picture - what’s your strategy?

Align daily decisions with your big-picture farm strategy to unlock your pasture’s full potential.

Seasonal priorities – Responding to flood

After the flood prioritize repair and regrow with this seasonal pasture recovery guide for smarter recovery steps.

Seasonal priorities – Preparing for dry summers

Extended dry summers hit hard. Help your paddocks survive and recover faster, cutting costs along the way.

Pasture feed value

Pasture feed value drives animal performance. ME and digestibility are key, with ME the most practical measure.

Using tetraploid perennial ryegrass

Boost animal performance using tetraploid ryegrass; more palatable, productive, but requires careful management.

Seasonal priorities – Managing pasture in the wet

Pugging can slash pasture yield by over 35%. Repair quickly with new seed before weeds take hold.

Mixing tetraploid & diploid ryegrass

Striking the perfect pasture balance: mix tetraploid & diploid ryegrass for palatability, persistence & easy management.

Making great silage

Light silage crops boost quality, regrowth and persistence. Less really is more for pasture performance.

Improving environmental outcomes

Small changes, big impact: smart pasture choices for better environmental outcomes.
