Abstract

High pasture utilisation in extensive rangelands of Northern Australia leads to short term declines in beef cattle breeder performance (McCosker et al., 2026). But despite lower individual animal performance, in the short term and with good rainfall, higher pasture utilisation leads to higher production and profits. To better understand the longer-term impacts of utilisation with climate variability, we simulated the longer-term impacts of pasture utilisation using historical climate, including how pasture utilisation feeds back to productive potential of the landscape, beef production and profitability.
