Expert Beef Finisher Achieves High Dressed Weights with New Approach
A western district beef farmer, Leigh Maylor, has secured his best-ever growth and yield results using a new approach.
His cattle gained an average of 2.43kg a day between July and October, achieving dressed weights of 60pc.
Maylor, from Ballarat, has properties at Victoria Valley and Woodhouse, and traditionally turned off 500-600 home-bred cattle every year at 2.5 years old.
- He was forced to cut back the number of breeders to about 100 at Victoria Valley due to a change in family circumstances.
- Dry conditions last summer led to a water scarcity, and he moved his nine-month-old calves to a sheep feedlot on his Woodhouse property.
