It might also inspire you to have your say on the new Federal Government National Farm Forestry Strategy- submissions close next week on Jan 14th: haveyoursay.awe.gov.au/national-farm-forestry-strategy
Grazing sheep and cattle together has a number of benefits; in particular, allowing different grazing behaviours and feed preferences to optimise paddock management
In our new Mundarlo case study as apart of the 8 families group, the Austin's use a variety of grazing practices to create a more flexible and resilient business and landscape. Learn more about their practices below as Nick Austin discusses grazing management, water and fencing infrastructure, weed management and how the Holistic Management framework guides their decision making.
Read the full case study and learn more about the key practices they’ve implemented here: soilsforlife.org.au/mundarlo 🐑 🐄
Wonderful. Thank you for sharing your great story Deanna and Nick.

Chickens can be little soil legends, supporting profitable enterprises, regenerating soil and offering healthy food for local communities 🐓 🥚
Some of the key things to consider when integrating chickens (and other poultry) into your enterprise include selecting appropriate breeds, and deciding what sort of paddock rotations to implement. To learn more about the chicken game, Soils for Life recently visited three farmers at different stages of building chicken enterprises.
Find out how they’re changing the game, one chook at a time: soilsforlife.org.au/chickens-for-a-change/ Bokhara Plains Amberly Eggs
and just a few chickens can be helpful for home gardeners.
