Soil moisture deficits are starting to hit grass growth in the south of the country.
Dry conditions: Farms in the northwest are having a textbook year, with hay saved in recent days along with good grass growth.
Further south it’s a different story, with soil moisture deficits starting to hit grass growth.
We are entering the driest month of the year so getting a huge amount of rain at this stage is unlikely. It’s important to take action early and avoid running into a major feed deficit now or next winter. If supplementary feed is introduced, you can stretch grass supplies and keep cattle moving into fresh grass every few days.
