A lack of early planning and preparation for drought is often the main factor leading to management problems for livestock producers. It is essential to develop a sound plan before a drought takes hold, with nominated dates that trigger actions and decisions. This will help maintain environmental, financial, mental and animal health.
Dry seasons that may or may not extend to droughts are a common feature of Australian climatic conditions. While it can be hard to distinguish between a normal dry season and a drought, the slow onset of drought allows a sound, well thought out and staged management plan to be developed.
