The performance ofm young beef cattle from 6 months to 30 months old grazing on lucer-
ne-based pastures was compared with that in phalaris - subterranean clover pastures at
Canberra over four years at 1.5, 2.0 and 2.5 animals ha-1. Three anthelmintic treatments
of nil, an autumn drenching and suppressive drenching were compared. The suppressive 
treatment was not truly effective before spring of the third year when drenching was incre-
ased from > three-weekly to < two-weekly. Cattle on lucerne generally performed better
than those on phalaris. In the first two years the improved performance seemed to result 
from the provision of better quality feed in summer. In the other two years the major bene-
fits occurred in spring and were associated with lower losses caused by helminth parasi-
tes on cattle grazing lucerne. Gains did not differ between pasture types when internal
parasites were effectively suppressed by the < two-weekly treatments. The maximum gross margins on each pasture were obtained at about 2.0 steers ha-1.
