Their average rainfall is 769 mm or 30 inches. They carry 7000 Merino sheep and 650 breeding cows and have divided their land into 240 paddocks of approximately 10-25 hectares (25-62 acres). Each paddock is grazed an average of eight days per year (approximately two days each season - fall, winter, spring, summer) with at least a 70-day recovery period. Their main enterprise is easy-care, low-cost Merino sheep with an average adult micron of 17.5. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | In Practice (November/December), p. 12-14 | Publisher: | Holistic Management International | Place of Publication: | United States of America | ISSN: | 1098-8157 | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 070106 Farm Management, Rural Management and Agribusiness | Socio-Economic Objective (SEO) 2008: | 960504 Ecosystem Assessment and Management of Farmland, Arable Cropland and Permanent Cropland Environments | HERDC Category Description: | C3 Non-Refereed Article in a Professional Journal | Publisher/associated links: | http://www.holisticmanagement.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=302 |
