The
chickens are beginning to come out of their winter 'go slow' as far
as laying goes and with this, and a fuzzy green tinge to the
pasture, I detect a hint of Spring!
Spring
can be a time of exceptionally fast growth and there is a very real
danger of damaging your best and fastest growing perennial plants at
this time. Unless you have the luxury of lots of paddocks it a
difficult time to manage for, as overgrazing will occur even if your
graze periods are only three or four days. The good news is of
course the animals want to move and are very eager to move onto a
fresh green pick. With a bit of creativity and some temporary
fencing, you can step up your animal impact as a tool to make
positive change to you environment, as well as reduce any
overgrazing.
With
the growing season approaching, it's back to the office for a
session of planning - good quadrant tw0 stuff! Don't forget you need
to follow teach step is important in sequence when using the
Holistic Management handbook or grazing aide even if you think it
may not apply to you situation. Happy planning!

“Holistic Management
is one of the key tools at our disposal.”
Tim Flannery, Australian of the
Year, 2007
Listen to the
podcast |
"The Holistic Management course
delivered by Inside Outside Management under the TAFE umbrella has
far exceeded our expectations!
We have learned an enormous
amount about what a healthy environment is, what a productive
pasture looks like, and how to achieve them. This carries over to
include a better understanding of animal health and nutrition
achieved with little or no chemical interventions.
The fundamental concepts of
Holistic Management are powerful and persuasive, and the
knowledge and tools taught in the course allow a keen novice and
seasoned professional alike to get started straight away.
We have already begun the
process of mending past (inadvertent) sins and omissions, and can
see the beneficial impact in only a few short months.
We now have a wonderful
decision-making tool to allow us to resolve a problem or test an
idea, or ideas, taking all of the key factors: the environment; the
cost and funding sources; the impact; and our long term "life
goals", into account.
The current and last segment of
the course, Financial Planning, will allow us to keep within known
and viable financial parameters.
In summary, we are delighted to
be doing the course, and excited about the new knowledge and tools
we have gained.
PS We are just about to go
away for three weeks, and the pasture assessment tools we have
acquired allowed us to work out how to deploy the cattle so that
we can be sure that they will have sufficient nutrition while we
are gone."
Julie Brady and Felicity
Carter, Forster, NSW

"Traditionally, livestock is kept in paddocks for weeks or months. They
nibble away at the most nutritious plants, giving the noxious weeds an
advantage, destroying biodiversity and profitability.
A new approach,
holistic management, reverses this. The herds are moved from one
small cell to another, as often as every day. The livestock eat
everything in a cell, but over the following months the pasture is
rested and the grass grows back luxuriant and sweet. Cattle are better
fed, less worried by parasites (because the moving disrupts the parasite
cycle), calmer and seemingly happier (perhaps because the animals live
in a more natural herd structure). Farmers are happier, too, because
their workload is more evenly spread and their businesses are more
profitable".
Tim Flannery, author of 'The
Weather Makers'

"Where Holistic
Management is practiced increases of up to 3% in soil carbon are being
achieved. This happens largely because the soil is protected from
erosion and grass cover increases, allowing more root growth.”
.
Tim Flannery, Chairman of the Copenhagen committee
for climate change |
"Certainly
the best course I have attended. Totally new ideas passionately promoted
by the facilitators, lots of reinforcement. Gives me great hope and
motivation for the future!"
