Key Topics will Include
Grazing basics and grazer’s math
Grazing system design (rotational-management intensive grazing)
Forage selection, establishment and pasture renovation
Soil health and fertility
Electric fencing and water delivery systems for managed grazing systems
Forage quantity estimates and carrying capacity determination
Matching livestock with forage resources
Economics of grazing systems
Integrating technology (e.g., grazing apps)
