Land – Tuesday 27 February 12.00pm – 1.30pm, presented by Matt Barton
Operating a grazing operation is such a pleasure when we have more grass than mouths. The same can be said for the opposite as running out of feed creates high levels of stress for the country, animals, people and business. This webinar will look at the strategies and tools we can use to put ourselves in control and ultimately be Grazing for Profit. Topics include:
- How to assess our real carrying capacity
- Understanding rolling rainfall and trends in potential carrying capacity
- Strategies to make sure you always have more grass than mouths
Production – Monday 25 March 12.00pm – 1.30pm, presented by David McLean

- Selection of animals for optimising profitability
Business – Wednesday 17 April 12.00pm – 1.30pm, presented by Matt Barton
