This week on the Head Shepherd podcast Mark speaks with Brendon Savage from Western Australia. Brendon has a great insight on soils and pasture after spending the past few years improving his pastures via various, slightly different methods with the goal of producing the same, with less.
Brendon also upped his sheep numbers to take his business to 50:50 crop to sheep which isn't common in the area in which Brendon lives. This is to take the typical highs and lows out of his farming system. Brendon focuses on higher fertility so that he can have less sheep in the Autumn, and more during Spring.
This week is really a podcast to get you thinking about how to make the most of your business, whilst also looking to the future for the changes that may be coming to the Agricultural industry.
