Grass to Dollars

Based on the highly successful Prograze® course. 

This program is applicable to permanent pastures in the Western and Southern Australian temperate rainfall zones and takes 11–12 months to complete. During this time, each participant will be encouraged to take messages from the program and apply them to their own farm, review the success (and failures of these), observe what has worked/not worked and discuss this with other participants to work through possible solutions.

What you will learn 

  • how much an animal can eat, how to measure it and determine whether it is sufficient
  • how much pasture can be grown and how to improve it
  • how to maximise pasture profitability and meat and/or wool production.

This package is delivered over eight half day on-farm sessions accompanied by half a day of individual coaching.  

Each half day session will include a theory component and paddock inspection to assess:

  • pasture feed on offer
  • feed quality
  • animal performance from pasture, grazing management and feed budgeting planning.
