Sheep and beef production are closely integrated. Sheep and beef cattle graze pasture year round. Stock are finished to prime condition on pasture for slaughter. Dual purpose sheep produce both meat and wool. Production systems are aimed at minimising risk and maximising profit through low cost per unit of output.
