A LARGE variation of winter forage is starting to show in New South Wales, with some areas able to plant early and put cattle on crops and others struggling through the first of the frosts.
Pasture crops have been a big driver of cattle movements in the past couple of years, with NSW and Southern Qld coming out of drought and large numbers coming down from the north and onto oats crops.
This year has been a bit different with a dry finish to summer seeing some producers starting to offload cattle – particularly in Southern Qld.
