Farmers looking to boost their bottom line and improve pasture health are in luck. The University of Missouri Extension is offering a free workshop on multispecies grazing, a sustainable practice that combines cattle, sheep, or goats on the same pasture. This innovative approach can enhance profitability and ensure better utilization of grazing land.
The workshop dives deep into the advantages of multispecies grazing with presentations from MU Extension specialists. Attendees will learn how to incorporate native grasses into their livestock production for a more robust grazing system.
The fencing options specifically suited for multispecies grazing will be explored. Proper pasture management for sheep and goats will also be addressed, equipping farmers with the knowledge to manage their herds effectively.
But that's not all! The workshop features a real-life success story from a local producer, offering valuable insights from someone who has implemented multispecies grazing on their own farm.
Space is limited, so register by April 26th, 2024, to secure your spot. Light refreshments will be served at this informative event.
