Drought Feeding and Management of Beef Cattle
A Guide for Farmers and Land Managers
This booklet is a practical guide on feeding and management of beef cattle during a drought to help producers break the daunting planning phase down into manageable steps and then to see the plan realised as a successful way of combating the drought.
As no two droughts are the same, this booklet cannot cover all situations. Rather, it aims to provide the general recommendations which can then be modified to fit the requirements of the individual. The application of the best information and advice can assist in developing a plan to suit your situation in managing through drought. Plans should include conservation issues, animal feed requirements, feeding in confined areas and making an assessment of water reserves and water quality.
Drought Feeding and Management of Beef Cattle is attached as a PDF below. To view it you will need Adobe Acrobat Reader. A free copy can be downloaded from Adobe Acrobat.
