- Bushfire
-
Fire is a problem in most summers in Australia, but particularly so after good seasons where spring rains have produced abundant growth and in very hot dry summers where the vegetation becomes tinder dry. Being prepared is a key to minimising the impacts of fire on your property and livestock.

- Bushfires - Dealing with Burnt Livestock
-
Burnt livestock are unfortunately an inevitable part of bushfires in rural areas, but careful thought needs to be given to dealing with injured animals. The decision to destroy injured livestock should be made only on the grounds that the stock are too severely burnt to survive or that it would be inhumane to keep them alive.
