LESTER RAINBOW

WINNALEAH / TAS / ROUND 2

Lester and his wife Pip enjoy the country lifestyle that North East Tasmania offers. Pip and Lester balance their full-time jobs and operating their 48-hectare property, on the property they run a small mob of cows and calves.  They typically buy in weaners from around the local district and attempt to turn them around within a 12-month time frame.  Lester currently runs a winter stocking rate of 28 DSE/ ha so he is always looking at the farming cycle to find new ways to improve and to gain more weight as quickly as possible.

Lester discovered Multimin some 10 to 15 years ago and has strategically implemented it into his animal health program on a regular basis since this time.
