This is the second of two webinars that have been developed from analyses undertaken in the Fitzroy and northern Gulf catchments of Queensland and the Katherine region of the Northern Territory.
In this webinar, Fred Chudleigh (DAF Agricultural Economist – Toowoomba) identifies the value of low cost strategies aimed at improving the resilience of the beef herd. Topics covered will include:
- the value of managing breeder body condition
- optimising the female culling strategy
- identifying the best age to sell steers.
Assessing the breakeven value of producing weaner steers from a “calf factory” in the northern Gulf will also be discussed.
After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar.
