In this episode of Farm Learning with Tim Thompson, Tim visit Gunningrah in the Southern Monaro with Charlie Maslin and Phil Mulvey to look at a grazing system that changed the way this property performs.
By combining mobs, extending rest periods and managing to ground cover, Charlie and his family increased the area they manage from 9,000 acres to 12,000 acres, reduced stock labour, improved resilience in dry times and created the conditions for healthier creeks, better pasture recovery and stronger soil function.
This video will be useful for farmers, graziers, livestock producers and landholders interested in rotational grazing, regenerative agriculture, pasture management, drought resilience, creek restoration, water retention and practical ways to improve profitability without adding unnecessary complexity. It is especially relevant to people managing sheep and cattle in variable climates.
This is a practical look at smart grazing, grazing management, ground cover, soil biology, hydrology, creek regeneration, labour efficiency, multi-species grazing, drought decision-making and grazing systems that improve both farm performance and landscape function. If you are interested in rotational grazing in Australia, regenerative grazing, pasture utilisation, grazing for profit, creek restoration on farms, reducing weed costs with goats, or using stock management to improve soil and water outcomes, this episode will give you real-world insight.
