Laura Harris is the owner of Beau River Beef, a cattle breeding operation utilising agistment properties across NSW from Griffith to Orange. Laura also works for Local Land Services as part of the Invasive Species team. 

In this episode, Laura discusses the humble origins of her Santa Gertrudis x Angus crossbred herd and how she uses agistment for her breeding operation until she can purchase her own property. She explains why she thinks agistment is an underutilised resource, how to find it, how to value it, and how to plan for droughts when you don’t have your own land.

Local Land Services Mixed Farming Advisor, Rohan Leach, caught up with Laura in the Forbes LLS Office for this chat.
