BF 231: Improved Grazing Management – an online course from the Cornell Small Farms Program!

Grazing is more than simply turning livestock out onto a green “warehouse” and hoping for the best. With sound grazing management, you can reduce your workload, keep your animals happier and healthier, and improve the overall productivity and profitability of your farm.
bf231grazing-2efimzx-300x225Well-managed grazing systems also provide greater environmental benefits and enhance habitat for many wildlife species.
As a participant, you will learn the key concepts of successful grazing operations that can be adapted and successfully implemented on your own farm. Focus will be on grazing ruminant livestock, but most of the information will be relevant to non-ruminant animals as well.
 
In this course you will:

  • Learn common grazing terminology, systems and methodology
  • Comprehend the fundamental principles of every successful grazing system
  • Develop confidence in implementing or enhancing a grazing system for your farm
  • Know how to monitor, evaluate and refine the grazing system

DATES: November 9 – December 14, 2016 with webinars each Wednesday evening from 7:00 – 8:30pm Eastern time.
