what is a sheep grazier warning

A sheep grazier warning is a type of weather warning issued by the Bureau of Meteorology in Australia. The warning is mainly for sheep farmers, telling them that forecast weather could kill their livestock, particularly new lambs and freshly shorn sheep. The warning is issued when there is a risk of losses of lambs and sheep due to cold temperatures, rain, and strong winds. The warning is usually issued during the winter months, when the weather conditions are more severe. When farmers see the warning, they swing into action to protect their sheep by taking measures such as providing shelter, extra feed, and water. The Bureau of Meteorology has recently updated its sheep grazier warning service to provide more consistent information for graziers across the country and reduce the over-forecasting risk.
