A sheep grazier warning is a type of weather warning issued by the Bureau of Meteorology in Australia to alert sheep farmers that forecast weather could kill their livestock. The warning is mainly for sheep farmers, but it is an alert for all livestock farmers. It is issued when there is a risk of cold temperatures, rain, and strong winds, which are high-risk conditions for lamb and sheep. The warning is typically issued during the winter months, with July and August being the months when most warnings are issued. When farmers see the warning, they swing into action to protect their sheep.
