PROGRAZE 2026-2027 North Coast - Casino

Build practical grazing management skills through 6–8 hands-on, on-farm workshops designed to improve productivity, profitability and the sustainability of your grazing enterprise.

Event details:

Join North Coast Local Land Services in the next round of PROGRAZE®, a longstanding, well-regarded course that is designed to assist cattle producers in optimising their grazing management and profitability.

The course consists of 6 to 8 on-farm workshops focusing on grazing and livestock management, with an emphasis on beef cattle. Producers from other livestock enterprises, including dairy, are also welcome.

PROGRAZE® provides practical, hands-on learning through in-paddock workshops held across the production year. Participants will develop the skills and confidence to make informed grazing management decisions that improve pasture utilisation, enhance livestock performance and support long-term farm profitability.

The course provides producers with an understanding of pasture-livestock interactions, enabling them to make tactical grazing decisions to influence pasture composition, manage weeds and meet livestock production targets, even during challenging seasonal conditions.
