________

Producers at Wilmot Field Day 2026 wanted more time with internationally recognised grazing educator, Dr Allen Williams. So this spring, we’re taking the WFD experience on the road.

This one-day workshop puts you in the paddock with Allen, working through real grazing decisions on a host farm closer to home.

The paddock is the classroom. Real livestock. Real pasture. Real seasonal pressure. Real decisions you can use tomorrow.

This is grazing management you’ll use again and again.

What you’ll learn

01Read soil, plants, water flow, groundcover and livestock behaviour
02Set trigger points to graze, rest, slow down or destock
03Adjust mob size, paddock size and recovery windows
04Match livestock demand to available pasture
05Build a simple grazing plan that fits your fencing, water, labour and landscape

Clearer grazing decisions grounded in what's happening now

A stronger, more reliable feedbase

More confidence through seasonal pressure

Practical ways to protect country through dry times

Better use of rainfall via groundcover, litter & infiltration

Observe • Decide • Graze • Rest • Measure • Adapt
