This course focus will be on grazing ruminant livestock, but most of the information will be relevant to non-ruminant animals as well. You will get the most out of this course if you already have livestock, or have at least a basic knowledge of the grazing behavior of livestock. But anyone is welcome to participate, even if you don't already have animals.
Through this course, students will:
Know common grazing terminology, systems and methodology
Be able to articulate the fundamental principles of every successful grazing system
Have confidence in implementing or enhancing a grazing system for your farm
Know how to monitor, evaluate and refine the grazing system
The bulk of the course happens on your own time, with discussions, readings, and assignments in Teachable, our online course platform. To add to the experience, webinars will be woven into the interface of the course for 6 weeks each year to allow you to meet on a weekly basis to learn from presenters and ask questions in real time. If you miss one, they are always recorded and posted for later viewing.
