Over the next few weeks, the Red Meat Updates Facebook page will be posting a series of updates about what the season is looking like for red meat producers in different regions of Tasmania.

There will be comments on rainfall conditions over the last nine months, the impact recent rainfall (or lack of) has had on feed availability, is irrigated fodder playing an important role, are people supplementary feeding and what management actions are being taken to prepare for winter?
