Abstract: Depending on the season, between 50% and 80% of the property is rested at any given time. Narwietooma has 90 paddocks ranging in size from 200 hectares to 300 square kilometres. External fencing is all barb and internal fences are electric. There are 55 bores and 38 dams on the property. The more intensive aspect of the grazing system was first trialled in a small area and has been subsequently expanded over the past 12 years. The larger paddocks in the mulga and spinifex country are usually rested and provide a place to put stock during dry periods. The implementation of the grazing system has been aided by attending many formal training workshops including Grazing for Profit and Holistic Management.
