Brooman Farm Co

Brooman Farm does not use any drench, vaccinations, antibiotics, hormones but instead concentrates on animal health through cell grazing. Cattle are not left to graze a paddock for more than one week and often are moved daily. Mineral and trace elements are supplied through cattle lick blocks and other naturally occurring alternatives.

We do not use any chemical herbicides or pesticides. Again this is managed by cell grazing, slashing and harrowing.

We do not use chemical fertiliser. We compost fish offal with bio char, green mulch, and dry mulch and generally concentrate on building on the soil structure by increasing our soil carbon and therefore our microorganisms.

We work at being carbon neutral this is not easy to measure. We build soil carbon through cell grazing on mostly perennial grasses with high stock densities for short periods on a long rotation. We have off river watering and have formed many revegetation areas including river, creek, swamp and steep hills we have planted extra shade trees, make bio-char bio-diesel and minimalize our fossil fuel usage. All our electricity is generated by using solar energy. ...read more
