Research Officer – Grassland ScienceResearch Interests
Increasing the sustainability of grass-based beef production systems by investigating:
- Grazing management practices with an emphasis on grazing height
- White and red clover
- Genotypes
- Age to slaughter in steer systems
- Forage-only production systems
