Spring calving gives Turners greater flexibility of management, and more market options

摘要

The Turner family has been in Victoria's Gippsland region since 1884, and settled on their property 'Avonmore' at Bindi, near Swifts Creek, in the 1950s. And when the Gippsland's mountain cattlemen elected Simon Turner their front man six years ago, it was through necessity rather than choice that he dedicated himself to ensuring cattle grazing continued in the high country. Put simply, the Turners have had a state forest-grazing lease on the Nunniong Plateau for the past 35 years and it has been anintegral part of their operation.
