Abstract

Introduced pasture species are used to improve the quantity and quality of feed grown in the South Island high country. However, matching the increased feed supply to annual stock demands is difficult in an environment characterised by long winters, unpredictable climate and rugged terrain. Every high country run faces a different set of problems, and because of this, no set recipe can be given. Nevertheless, when undertaking a development programme, there are many points that need consideration. This paper recommends how to approach development and, within our present know how, how to get the most from it.
