With the exception of the north west areas, the area is in good condition with pasture supplies adequate to good. Heavy rains at the end of August in several districts added quality to the pasture. Far northern and gulf shires generally have adequate dry feed, but are vulnerable to fires.
Stock remains in good to excellent condition, in most areas.
Most areas will have adequate feed reserves to carry stock through till the end of the dry season. In the northwest pasture quality remains high although seasonal deterioration has begun to show. In the central-west seasonal conditions are generally excellent with Longreach and Blackall experiencing a better season in terms of rainfall, pasture response and limited frost damage. However, Winton and Boulia areas are variable as pastures deteriorate and stock reduction and supplementation required in some areas. The southwest has received excellent rains producing fresh pastures.
