Turning leaf into beef? Direct grazing or ‘stand and graze’ of irrigated pastures in northern Australia can be highly productive.
The combination of warm to high year-round temperatures, high solar radiation, plus water and nutrients is a recipe for very high pasture growth rates. However, the ‘sweet spot’ for high feed quality and good yield is narrow. Under-grazing and over-grazing both have a negative effect on cattle growth rates and the bottom line. Management is key to successfully and profitably grazing irrigated pastures in northern Australia.
In this series of 3 videos, Dr Kevin Bell (Innovations manager, Pardoo Wagyu) and Carla Milazzo (Development Officer, DPIRD) share their insights, experience and research results on how to successfully graze cattle on irrigated pastures in northern Australia.
This video series on grazing irrigated pastures in northern Australia has 3 parts:
Part 1 - Key principles
Part 2 - Best management practice
Part 3 - Troubleshooting
