10 2017 Seasonal Conditions Unlike large parts of NSW, graziers in the Crookwell region experienced a good season where the timing of key rainfall events proved to be just as important as the amount. Excellent rainfall in March provided a solid early break to the season with Crookwell recording 114mm, all of which fell in the second half of the month. Pastures responded quickly to the moisture and warm conditions and there was a big germination of clover, especially in paddocks that had a good fertiliser history. The warm, moist conditions also favoured a rapid build-up of barber s pole worms on pasture. After a strong start to the growing season, pasture growth during winter was heavily restricted by exceptionally dry conditions (NSW recorded its 10th driest winter on record) and cold nights. This winter at Crookwell, 48 nights out of 92 fell below zero degrees, with the biggest frost (-7.5 o C) occurring on 1 July. The frequent and large number of heavy frosts hit pastures hard and by the end of winter pasture levels in general had declined and were sitting somewhere around the long-term average. On many farms, ewes became over-fat in early pregnancy and carried this condition through to lambing. As a result, a high number of producers reported losses of ewes at lambing from prolapse and exploding ewe syndrome. The relatively dry winter meant fewer ewes were affected by foot abscess or pregnancy toxaemia and the relatively benign weather conditions would have undoubtedly assisted with lamb survival. Dry conditions extended into September with annual grasses quickly putting up a seed head. Good rain in late September and early October provided valuable moisture for the perennials, however the end result was a spring that didn t produce a lot of bulk but enough rain to keep pastures green and extend out the growing season. Late spring rain was ideal for both barber s pole worms and flystrike. Barber s pole worms are now present in about 80% of flocks in the district, and rapidly climbed to critical levels in some flocks. An increasing number of flocks have barber s pole worms that are resistant to several drenches. Blowflies were particularly attracted to any wet dags, especially on lambs.
