Confinement feeding is becoming known as a best practice strategy for many livestock producers to manage ground cover and protect the soil.

This webinar will provide insight into some of the success factors of confinement feeding sheep and cattle in different production regions around Australia.

The webinar will feature a panel discussion with three experienced producers, David Counsell, Jason Stokes and Tom Sweeney, facilitated by Meg Bell.
