The Power of Early Weaning
In any breeding herd or flock, the timing of weaning is a major determinant of profit. Weaning is our major tool to maintain body condition score (BCS) on our females. Our goal is to have cows in BCS 3+ at calving and ewes BCS 3+ at lambing and joining. If ...

Be brilliant at the basics! Decisions from my grazing chart.
For this article, I thought that I would share my thought processes with grazing over this summer, and where to from here for my steer trading operation near Murgon in south-east Queensland. Bottom line, up front (BLUF), I follow the RCS Regenerative Grazing Principles, because I want to be brilliant ...

From our Facebook Page
RCS - Resource Consulting Services
We genuinely care about the well-being of our clients.
Since 1985 we have worked with clients to see our vision for agriculture become a reality. RCS exists purely to see happy people running productive, profitable businesses using regenerative management practices that leave the land in a better condition than we started.
We work closely with you to help you through the challenges that implementing change can bring. It is the one thing to point out to you that you have a problem or need to improve in a particular area; it is another to be at your side leading and coaching you through the process.
That is the RCS difference.
We work closely with you to understand the complexity of your individual circumstance and work with you to develop a process to implement improvement that is customised to your unique situation and your ability to handle change.
We are committed to developing long-term relationships. We are renowned for our follow up support and become a “part” of most families and management teams we work with. RCS is now starting to work with a large number of 2nd and even 3rd generation clients!
RCS has the best clients! We also have a team of experienced and passionate people working across Australia. All of our key delivery people started as RCS clients! It is safe to say we can honestly empathise with you as we do our best to understand your unique circumstances.
If you didn’t get amazing value out of working with RCS, we wouldn’t still be here!
Here's an inexpensive trough set-up sent through by Grazing For Profit '93 grad David Nugent. David says:
"You can even get paid to take the tyres from a dealer; enough to pay for float valve and plumbing.
1 bag of cement mixed to fill and seal the base. Shape it around the bead a little for good seal. Hole-saw hole and tank flange for plumbing.
Side wall protects the float valve and shades the water. Add plants and fish for cleaner water. A vacuum cleaner hose can be used to syphon/suck clean but I find the water stays clear and clean.
Filled truck tyres prevent the usual hollowing and puddle forming around the trough. They also make the bottom of the trough lower than where the cattle stand and they don't want to step down into the trough."
Can anyone else share an ingenious idea like this one?
