Much of the Region has experienced a tremendous season that has assisted pasture regeneration and enabled many graziers to restock their properties following the extended drought. Stock condition continues to improve as a result of the flush of summer pastures and consequently most lines of stock are in good to excellent order. Those areas that have received recent rainfall in excess of 25mm have experienced good levels of pasture growth. Areas without the benefit of recent rainfall have experienced a decline in pasture quality as grasses hay off due to high temperatures. Generally much of the Region is well placed for feed reserves and stock condition varies from good to excellent depending on pasture quality.
Conditions continue to improve across the Region.
Recent rainfall has continued pasture growth and most areas have an excellent body of feed. The Lawgi area near Biloela has recorded useful rainfall but follow-up falls are required to continue pasture growth and top up water supplies. Stock condition has improved with the growth of new high quality pasture and consequently most lines of stock are in good to excellent condition. Rainfall during the last few months has done much to improve pastures across the Region. In most districts pasture quality and quantity is excellent for this time of year although the Brisbane Valley and Beaudesert areas require further follow up falls to maintain pasture growth and produce adequate pasture reserves for the winter months.
