In this first Quorum Sense webinar, Hamish Bielski talks about his experience and advice for managing stocking rates, grazing densities, pasture growth and recovery periods post-drought.

Hamish, Amy and their three children farm in a joint venture on 300ha in South Otago, between Balclutha and Clinton. It is their fifth year into the venture. The land consists of gentle rolling to steeper gullies that bound the Pomahaka river. They have run an integrated sheep, beef and arable operation for the initial years but are heading down the path of using regenerative farming principles and have decided to run 2300 breeding sheep, 200 trading cattle and no more cropping. Their vision is to reach the potential of the land, ecosystems, well being and bank balance.
