Wetland Case Study
Nankin Broadmeadows wetland case study
A history of cattle, water and wildlife on Nankin Plain.
Reducing Sediment Loss in the Fitzroy Basin
Remote Livestock Management Systems Case Study
Three central Queensland grazing enterprises have trialled an innovative Remote Livestock Management System focusing on reducing sediment loss and increasing productivity. The trail was supported by Fitzroy Basin Association through funding from the Queensland Government’s Reef Water Quality Program Innovation Fund. All project participants were located in the Fitzroy Basin on different land types and with different management systems in place. This case study explores each participant’s experience with the RLMS system.
CQ graziers talk about the value of attending training
CQ graziers talk about the value of attending training
Everybody learns. Eight of our Central Queensland graziers talk about what they get out of attending industry training, why it's important to their business and why they'd recommend it to others.
Riparian fencing case study
Maximising grazing areas by using smaller paddocks
It might seem like a simple change, but by installing riparian fencing and creating smaller paddocks that are segregated according to land type, grazier Jim Curran and his wife Janet are able to manage their herd better and maximise the use of previously under-used pasture. And they are encouraging others to do the same.
Using cattle to regenerate land
Using cattle to regenerate land - paddocks need rest
Controlling up to 1500 head of cattle that use a short stretch of Fitzroy River frontage is no easy task, but Andrew and Meagan Lawrie have changed their property and management to use livestock to regenerate previously degraded areas.
