Grazing School
Better utilization of forage and improved livestock operations through enhanced grazing management is the focus of our Grazing Schools. Classroom sessions and on-farm tours are used to demonstrate how to design a grazing system. The schools last for approximately 2 ½ days and various topics are taught to participants. There were a wide range of ages and experience levels. Both men and women participated with a 100% recommendation score on evaluations given at the end of each school session.
