Herd Management: Get your sucklers and beef cattle ready to head indoors

Housing is not far away for most suckler herds once all of the grass has gone or weather conditions deteriorate further.

Most suckler herds have few, if any, stock already indoors. However, housing is not far away.

Ideal growing conditions since we finally got rain mean that there is plenty of grass on many farms. 

Conditions, however, have deteriorated however over the last two weeks. As a result, grass utilisation has dropped on most land types. At least paddocks have been grazed out really well lately, which will help with grass quality next spring.
