Understanding the connection between land condition and cattle condition
The connection between land condition and cattle condition
Everything decision a grazier makes can affect their productivity and profitability. Understanding the connection between land condition and that of the cattle grazing on those pastures, is key to a successful and sustainable business. FBA works with graziers in the Fitzroy Basin to help improve their practices which in turn benefits local water quality and the health of the Great Barrier Reef as well as the productivity and profitability of their business. This pregnancy testing workshop was supported by FBA through funding from the Australian Government and delivered through Reef Trust in collaboration with the Queensland Government.
