Pasture is at the heart
of our operation and we use cattle to harvest it. Menalpyn is in
a unique area, where, with our perennial pastures and out of season
thunder storms we regularly have green feed all year round. This
provides the quality and quantity of dry matter that determines
the number of livestock we are able to carry; it also increases
flexibility in when we can finish our livestock, enabling Menalpyn
to have greater control over its marketing choices.
Ideally our pastures maintain a balance between Lucerne and Veldt
grass. This provides a balance between the high energy and protein
of Lucerne and the fibre of Veldt. This combination meets the nutrition
requirements of our livestock, allowing them to reach their genetic
potential.
The establishment, care and maintenance of our pastures help us
develop healthy stands of Lucerne and Veldt.
