Stocking Rates
I have property in Diggers Rest Victoria which I want to run sheep and cattle on. The property is 28 hectares in total with 1 hectare for the house yard and another aprox 2 hectares fenced off for trees and a dam making the grazing area about 25 hectares. The average annual rainfall is aprox 525mm per year. The pasture is mosly native grasses, phalaris with some sub clover. I was just wondering what you think the stocking rate would be for this property.
Thanks
