Grazing is more than simply turning livestock out onto pasture 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.

Well-managed grazing systems also provide greater environmental benefits and enhance habitat for many wildlife species. This course is designed for livestock producers who have already initiated grazing practices on their farm, but producers who do not yet have livestock are welcome to participate.

In this six-week online course, you’ll learn the key concepts of successful grazing operations that can be adapted and successfully implemented on your own farm. The course focus will be on grazing ruminant livestock, but most of the information will be relevant to non-ruminant animals as well.

Join Brett Chedzoy, Senior forestry and agriculture educator with Cornell Cooperative Extension of Schuyler County. Brett and his family also own and operate Angus Glen Farms, LLC in Watkins Glen, NY – a 400- acre grazing operation that raises grass-fed beef. He will be joined by several guest instructors for the course.

Fee for this course is $250. Sign up a month or more in advance of the start date and receive $25 off. Sign up for three or more courses and received $50 off your total.
