Using portable troughs and back fences
A back fence and portable trough will reduce cow walking and therefore limit soil damage through unnecessary stock movement.
-
Setting up strategic grazing
Strategic grazing near waterways and careful management of Critical Source Areas (CSAs) can reduce losses of sediment and phosphorus from the paddock by 80-90%.
-
Ensuring cow health
Preparing your cows for winter is a crucial element. Cows that are well prepared will have a better experience during winter and be more productive during the season.
-
Planning for adverse weather
During prolonged periods of wet weather where the paddock becomes too wet and muddy, it is important to have a contingency plan.
-
Transitioning onto crop
Cows must be transitioned onto winter crops to allow the gut bacteria to adjust to a new feed source.
Setting up your winter grazing paddocks early will reduce the loss and movement of sediment in winter.
