FBA hosted two workshops at Springsure and Gogango with Dick Richardson - The Natural Grazier. Across both days, local land managers came together for a practical, on-property learning experience focused on strengthening grazing decision-making and understanding how natural grazing principles can be adapted to suit different properties, seasons and business goals.

The program combined informative sessions with plenty of discussion and an on-ground component, giving participants the chance to explore ideas, compare experiences and consider how small changes could be implemented back home.

FBA extends a sincere thank you to our generous hosts for opening their properties for the day: Jason and Rachel Lich (Manalee) and Ann and Bobby Kirk (Weir Park).

• Work with what you’ve already got: Use your existing land, paddock layout and resources to guide practical grazing decisions that fit your operation.

• No need for a full overhaul: Small, well-timed changes to grazing management can deliver real improvements in pasture condition and production over time.

• Utilise feed strategically: Avoid “banking” pasture for too long. Aim to graze at the right stage, then allow adequate recovery so pastures stay productive and the system keeps moving.
