CUSTOMER STORY
Deploying uDOSE to streamline and scale production supplementing
Acquired in 2016, Rocklands is Paraway Pastoral Co’s largest cattle breeding operation. Situated on the border of Queensland and the Northern Territory on the Barkly Tableland some 7km from Camooweal. Rocklands runs a 22,000 breeder herd consisting of a crossbred base with a heavy influence of Brahman cattle.
Manager Ben McGlynn deployed DIT AgTech uDOSE systems to tackle inconsistency in herd health and improve production gains. He was also keen to reduce the labour costs and wear on the station’s equipment and vehicles from tedious and ineffective dry lick runs.

From manual to automatic: boosting supplementation results with uDOSE
Over the years of running Auvergne Station, one of the premier stations in the CAIT portfolio, Dave Young could see the burden of supplementing with loose lick taking its toll on staff and vehicles. In search of a more efficient way of supplementing, Dave got in touch with DIT AgTech team.
Water supplementation key to keeping livestock specs consistent
Phosphorus-deficient land and inefficiencies of traditional dry lick were making it difficult for the Reddan family to maintain the nutritional needs of their cattle. Looking for a way to improve supplementation results and get more value for their dollar, they decided to try a uDOSE system.
