This webinar was run by the Perennial Pastures Systems with support from Agriculture Victoria. Jess Revell , Rumenate Livestock Services, reports on local hay and pasture this season and how they relate to stock needs. Stock requirements (cattle and sheep) are outlined in relation to current issues and likely requirements ahead. Jess also covers animal health issues and what to consider when green feed is available.
Grace Abela and Cam Conboy from Gorst Rural cover assessing pastures, weed considerations, when it may be opportunistic to bulk up, oversow or introduce new species to get winter feed. They discuss critical soil conditions, weed and pest control.
