Improved Weaner Finishing

Hamish and Danette want to improve their weaner finishing by achieving a 60kg average carcass weight and an average kill date of November 15th.

Tactics/Actions: 

They plan to do this by:

  • Drawing up a formal animal health plan
  • Providing high quality winter feed such as fodder beet, Lucerne balage & strategic PKE
  • Early weaning
  • Aitken weaning onto high quality feed ex cattle
  • Grazing smaller weaning mobs
  • Selecting hinds for growth
  • Pasture renewal to plantain, Lucerne and modern species
