Free online grazing tutorial helps producers improve land and profits

BUTTE, Mont. — The new Managed Grazing Tutorial, by the National Center for Appropriate Technology (NCAT), changes the way grazing animals are managed to improve the land and profits. The tutorial is free and available on the NCAT ATTRA website.

 
It features stand-alone lessons including: Grazing management: inventory; managed grazing infrastructure: fencing and water, managing the mature stand, intensifying managed grazing; and stockpiling grass. Lessons are taught by NCAT specialists who also are livestock producers and can be taken at the users own pace.

Detailed presentations, real-world examples and links to other resources will help producers both refine and build managed grazing systems regardless of their experience. For more information, contact NCAT Livestock Specialist Dave Scott at 800-346-9140 or email, daves@ncat.org.
