Recovering from drought is a challenging period, particularly as many businesses find themselves in a tight financial position. Proactive cattle management and critical date planning during this time will ensure your business is in the best position to return to a positive cash flow and profitable operation as quickly as possible.

Part two of this webinar series will aim to provide beef producers a ‘first look’ at some at some of the key management strategies and actions to consider when planning for recovery.

Topics will include:
• Breeder management – why is timing of calving and weaning so important?
• How to assess feed availability
• Rebuilding your herd – herd structure, optimum age of turnoff and herd rebuilding strategies
• Overview of the decision support tools that are available to assist producers in assessing herd rebuilding strategies (BreedCow & Dynama)
• What are my options if it gets dry again – What are the exit points or contingencies under my chosen herd structure?
• Biosecurity – diseases, parasites and weed management

Presenters:
1. Mick Sullivan – Principal Beef Extension Officer (DAF)
2. Erica Noonan – Biosecurity Officer (DAF)
