Abstract

Beef cattle production in the seasonally dry zone of north Queensland is based on uncleared native grasslands with significant nutrition deficits during the dry season (Rolfe et al., 2016). Targeting improved dry season nutrition of weaners and steers, DPI researchers and Meat and Livestock Australia, are scaling-up research to commercial size paddocks after demonstrating the potential for shrub legume (e.g. stylo) and leucaena production paddocks in north Queensland (Cox et al., 2025).
