Regenerative grazing field day at Millmerran
Soils for Life is hosting a field day on the implementation of grazing strategies to build soil and landscape health, at the Curtis property “Bellevue”, Millmerran, on Wednesday.
Since arriving in 1985 to the damage left by cotton production, David and Robbie Curtis, and their daughter Sophie, have transformed “Bellevue” into a thriving, profitable Dorper stud and sheep enterprise.
They sell fat lambs into high-end butchers and hold multiple stud sales each year, from a farm that is seeing ever-increasing biodiversity and soil health.
Their approach of grazing regeneratively, reducing their costly inputs, and sowing multispecies fodder crops underpins their success.
In 2016 the Curtis’ converted to certified organic farming due to their desire to stop putting chemicals into the food system for animals or people, and to create a healthy environment for their family.
The Curtis family is one of five featured case studies across the nation in Soils for Life’s recently launched Grazing for Soil and Landscape Regeneration Practice Guide.
The field day will cover:
Introduction to the Grazing Practice Guide
The Curtis family will talk about their grazing management practices
AdvertisementDr Judi Earl, grazing management educator, will share practical grazing management principles and how to apply them
Practical skills session in the field
Open discussion, networking, questions and peer-to-peer learning
The focus of the field day is on practical, paddock-based learning, farmer observations and decision-making tools that can be applied on farm.
