Livestock grazier, committed to vibrant rural communities and regenerative landscape management. Have many roles in our community, family is top of the list.
2026 after a dry Jan/Feb has turned into an awesome grazing year here. When I look back at why it was so good, this is what I reckon:
- Rotational grazing system that allows diverse mgmt from high density to rest.
- bringing in stock that suited our feed, lambs & heifers

- matching stocking rate 2 carrying capacity, especially through dry periods.
- KLR marketing allowing us to make sure trades were profitable
- Low Stress Stockhandling, enabling us to induct stock well.
- All done Grazing For Profit, we could all speak the same language

@ERN_Malleyscrub Cattle eat it when green. Sheep must eat it as well though I havenโt seen them. Just where there is set stocking of sheep, the plant isnโt plentiful.
Blue Statice, sea lavender, is a common garden plant and for many a weed. I donโt reckon it is a weed for us this year. A wiseman said โdonโt shoot the messenger until you have read the messageโ

In 2013 we thought it was tough enough to move Mum & Dad into town from the property. Now Mumโs eyesight is almost gone and next step is into aged care. While she has made the decision the actual process will be tough.
