Grazing Workshop with Dick Richardson

OPTIMISING CATTLE & PASTURE PERFORMANCE

15 AUGUST 2023

Join us at Woodleigh Station for a grazing workshop with Dick Richardson on Wednesday 30 August…

Graziers from across the region are encouraged to come to this free event, which will focus on ways to optimise cattle and pasture performance.

Terrain NRM is bringing grazing guru Dick Richardson back to the region for this event.  We will be looking at animal, dung and pasture condition, stock movement, the use of supplements and incorporating fire in management practices.

Dick Richardson is an internationally recognised leader in natural grazing principles to improve soil depth, water retention, biodiversity and animal production.

He has been helping graziers in our region for more than five years.

During the workshops, which will run from 9am to 3:30pm, there will also be plenty of time to ask questions, share experiences and ideas.

The day is part of our Upper Herbert Sediment Reduction Project, funded by the partnership between the Australian Government’s Reef Trust and the Great Barrier Reef Foundation.

The Herbert catchment is one of the top three contributors of fine sediment flowing to the reef. This project aims to reduce fine sediment loads entering the Great Barrier Reef lagoon from the Herbert River Basin, by targeting priority erosion hot spots and high-risk areas with a combination of construction works and agricultural extension support for farmers.
