Caterpillars Hit Mitchell Cattle Pastures At Crystal Brook
More than 00 cattle have died in the first month from eating ironbark caterpillars at Crystal Brook Station. Losses reported at other stations as well. Caterpillars cling to trees then drop to ground where cattle eat them, likely due to saltish taste. Wet weather dislodges them. a dry month limited deaths. Pastoralists say caterpillars are a bigger scourge than dingoes. Salt is seen as a preventative but vast areas hinder coverage.
