Welcome to episode 3 of the MLA Productivity and Profitability media series. This episode features Basil Doonan, Technical Director of Pinion Advisory. Basil speaks about how to manage your pastures during spring, in wet, dry and average seasons. 

Your host, Tanisha Shields and Basil discuss why spring is the time to "attack" your pasture management, how to deal with excess feed, how to assess and manage pasture quantity and quality. Basil shares insight on how to assess which livestock are the most profitable for your business when deciding to supplementary feed in dry seasons.
