The Oklahoma Grazing School is co-designed with input from university researchers, Extension specialists, NRCS and local conservation district personnel, and experienced ranchers. This two-day workshop will provide hands-on, research-based training on sustainable and profitable grazing practices.

 

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)
• Mixed species grazing

 

The format will blend classroom instruction, field demonstrations and peer-to-peer learning. Participants will receive printed material, access to digital resources and continued support through an online support community.
