Late summer and early autumn rain came just in time for a bulk of feed to grow before winter. The cool temperatures have caused much of it to hay off and decrease in quality. Listen in to the conversation for some strategies for increasing livestock production from dry standing feed. On today’s conversation Teresa Hogan Land Service Officer – Livestock from the Hunter LLS joins host Max Newsome to talk production tactics.

This episode is jointly funded through Northern Tablelands Local Land Services and the Australian Government’s National Landcare Program.
