An integrated grazing extension
program continues to roll out in 2020
to support a culture of stewardship that
enables land managers to be effective
custodians of the land.
There is a strong focus on peer to peer
learning, cluster groups, demonstration
sites and focus group activity to deliver
accelerated progress in increasing
stewardship and improving the viability
of the BBB grazing community.
Some of the activities include: • Low Stress Stock Handling
• Forage budgeting • • Farm track maintenance Herd management and pregnancy
testing
• Property mapping • • Weed and feral animal
management Pasture management and
productivity
• Succession planning
• Leadership program
• Landholder sub catchment and
cluster group meetings and
workshops
• Soil testing and soil health
• Livestock nutrition
• Machinery hygiene
Jim Lindsay has hosted multiple
low stress stock handling
schools in the BBB.
Landcare specialist and plant operator Darryl Hill has
delivered erosion control grader training to the project’s
pool of plant contractors, interested landholders and also
mines, utilities and council staff.
