Pasture Management And Winter Feed

One of the main objectives of pasture management is to meet the annual feed demand of stock by manipulating the annual feed supply from pasture. This challenge is probably greatest for high country runholders because long cold winters and often dry summers severely disrupt the continuity of pasture growth and create a mismatch between supply and demand. Within each high country run there is generally a diverse range of landscapes environments whose integration with planning, and an appropriate choice of pasture species, and selective management, can help overcome this mismatch.
