Bovine, Ovine Exclusion from Waterbodies

Fencing off waterbodies to prevent access is one of the measures included. In the picture opposite, we can see that the fence is open.

Fence off waterbodies (rivers, streams, drains, ponds, lakes etc.) to prevent bovine and ovine access to reduce impacts of nutrient and sediment enrichment and bank destabilisation. This measure must be recommended where it will provide a water quality benefit and is only applicable to those stocked at a grassland stocking rate of <170kgs/ha.
