Managing autumn and winter post drought for a successful spring

Find out how to make informed autumn and winter management decisions that maximise grass availability, grazing opportunities and animal performance next spring.

The effects of a difficult growing season do not end when grass growth returns. Reduced forage stocks, variable forage quality and lower autumn covers can create challenges throughout the winter and affect the amount of grass available the following spring.

Join James Daniel of Precision Grazing and guest nutritionist for the second webinar in this practical series, focusing on how to manage autumn and winter for a successful start to the 2027 grazing season.

The session will explain

• How to create a winter feed plan by assessing forage stocks
• How to estimate likely utilisation and calculate animal intake requirements for different livestock classes
• How to identify potential feed shortfalls early and assess alternative feed and forage sources

The webinar will also cover autumn grazing strategies and balancing immediate feed requirements against the need to build grass for spring 2027.

You'll leave with the tools to create a practical winter feed plan and a better understanding of the actions required to protect livestock performance and set up the farm for spring 2027.
