Preventing Grazing Pitfalls: Learning from Our Cows and Pastures

Preventing Grazing Pitfalls: Learning from Our Cows and Pastures

Grass based organic farmers know the importance of pasture as the primary feed source for their cattle. But part of managing pastures well is honing our observation skills to assess what the plants and animals are telling us about their health. In this workshop, presented by grazing and organic certification specialist Sarah Flack, we will review the key grazing principles that help your cattle maximize dry matter intake from pastures and avoid potential problems. We will also look at 3 items to observe to determine the health of your pasture management: livestock, their manure, and pasture plants.
