Climb on board and join us for this virtual climate bur tour.

In this episode, we look at the use of stock containment yards to provide opportunities to maintain paddock condition during dry and wet conditions.

First stop is to Bendigo to meet with Peter Gibson, who runs a self-replacing Merino herd. After spending significant time carting water during some dry springs, Peter investigated setting up a stock containment yard.

Then we visit Agriculture Victoria’s Martin Hamilton who believes stock containment yards allow farmers to take advantage of the benefits to pasture health and gives them other farm management options throughout the year.
