Cornell Cooperative Extension of Oswego County (CCE Oswego) will be hosting a free virtual workshop through Zoom on Thursday, April 7th from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. This workshop will give an introduction to multi-paddock rotational grazing for livestock farmers. Discover the many benefits of rotational grazing and learn some of the practical skills and methods needed to implement it on your farm. Guest speakers will be grazing experts, Brett Chedzoy from Cornell Cooperative Extension of Schuyler County, and Troy Bishopp from Madison County Soil and Water Conservation District. Both speakers will share their practical experiences on using rotational grazing to reduce feeding costs, increase animal health and performance, improve the land and keep livestock farming “profitable and enjoyable.” There will also be time for group discussion and questions following both presentations.
This virtual workshop is open to all members of the public, including those interested in learning about agriculture, new/beginning farmers and/or longstanding livestock producers looking to gain further knowledge on the benefits and methods of multi-paddock rotational grazing. Registration is required to attend. Please visit reg.cce.cornell.edu/plannedrotationalgrazing_235 to register for this event.
