'Gerogery beef producers Ian and Jill Coghlan were awakened to the possibilities of regenerative farming three years ago.

The Coghlans run a red poll and shorthorn cattle stud at their 200-hectare property, Eurimbla, at the base of the Table Top ranges.

By reducing paddocks from 16 hectares to about 4 hectares and moving one large mob (predominantly) daily, they have seen a better recovery of the farm landscape while maintaining stock numbers in drought.

They are "conscious" of planting trees yearly and are trialling a new way of regenerating pastures with a multi-species pasture cropping program.

Ian says the couple has always appreciated the "natural aesthetics of our property" - from the rocky outcrops to the wildlife and old, established trees.

They see regenerative farming as "not so much about what can be produced from the land as how we care for it" - and the two are not mutually exclusive.'
