Demonstration of Moveable Fencing and Troughs - Farm Walk in Newham

Next date: Friday, 28 November 2025 | 05:00 PM to 07:30 PM

The focus of this farm walk will be on practically demonstrating equipment used on this farm including moveable fencing and water troughs.

The infrastructure used is critical for effective and adaptive grazing management. This property predominantly has cattle but also has a small sheep flock. The farmers will be able to answer questions about the strengths and weaknesses of the equipment used for cattle and sheep. The property has also used "light" electric internal fencing to follow the land contour with a focus on slowing water movement. The use of contour banks (therefore internal fences) have been designed with dividing the paddock in mind, and to make the use of the moveable system efficient and easy to use. This property has used multispecies crops for grazing.

Everyone is welcome to come along and learn from each other and discuss how your property is progressing through the season. Topics covered at past events have varied from fencing techniques and equipment, tree planting, water infrastructure, animal and breeding choices, weed management and the list continues.

The session will include a light meal, a paddock walk and discussion. 

Be aware that part of the event is outside, so make sure you wear appropriate clothing and footwear. A minor level of fitness and mobility is required.

Once registered, the property address will be sent to you prior to the event.
