The aim of better grazing systems in the low rainfall wheat/sheep zone should be to increase pasture returns without negative effects on the cropping phase.
Better grazing systems can be developed for the low rainfall zones of the Wimmera and Mallee. With high livestock prices holding there is a resurgence of interest in how to improve our livestock production systems.
