Pasture to Profit: Maximizing Growth & Grazing – INFORMATION DAY
We are excited to invite you to “Pasture to Profit: Maximizing Growth & Grazing,” a day dedicated to optimizing pasture management, improving soil health, and boosting livestock productivity.
SPRING & FODDER DAY: Maximising fodder production in challenging weather conditions
Some areas of the South West have experienced a frosty start to July. Depending on the severity of the frosts, pasture can become quite brittle and is prone to physical damage by grazing livestock. Frost damage can reduce the regrowth potential of a pasture. To minimize the risk of frost damage, it’s best to hold dairy cows back until the frost has melted.

Agronomy: Prepping for Spring
We are already over halfway through the year, with on farm conditions vastly different to the previous few wetter years. Whilst it may not feel like it’s time to consider preparing for spring, it is!
GIBBERELLIC ACID: THE FACTS
Minimal Autumn rainfall has resulted in a Winter feed shortage for many farms across the district. Provided there is adequate soil moisture moving forward, urea and gibberellic acid are well proven strategies to increase pasture growth in winter.
Rotation Lengths in Winter – What is “LER” and Why are they on the Webber Chivell Text Messages
Aiming to graze ryegrass at the three-leaf stage over the winter period will maximise pasture growth, improve pasture persistence and density. This article explains how to use the weekly LER text information to guide your rotation.
Autumn Weed Control in New Sown Pastures
Understanding what is occurring in your soil is the beginning of the success or failure of your pastures. Annual soil tests can be taken to see trends occurring, fluctuations in major nutrients, pH CaCl2 levels, salts and soil sodicity.
