Todd and Angel Hatfield had big dreams when they received the keys to their 12,000 ha grazing property, Montrose. 🐮🌱
While a blessing of opportunity, the property itself was a long way off what they had in mind for their management plan. It had limited infrastructure and low ground coverage.
Through the GRASS program, FBA was able to support Todd and Angel with:
✅6.2 km of fencing
✅800 m of poly
✅ New trough.
This has helped them split up the paddocks to allow for rotational grazing which gives the paddocks time to rest and promote better utilisation of the pasture.
