Kentucky Intermediate Grazing School 2024

Helping livestock producers improve their successful grazing management!

Hosted by the University of Kentucky Martin-Gatton College of Agriculture, Food and Environment, the 2024 Fall Kentucky Intermediate Grazing School promises an immersive learning experience for livestock producers.

This year's program has undergone significant updates to intensify its focus on the crucial role of soils and hands-on application in successful grazing management.

The event occurs on Tuesday, September 25 and Wednesday, September 26 at the Woodford County Extension office in Versailles, Kentucky.

Topics on the first day include introduction to soils, rotational grazing, meeting nutritional needs on pasture, grazing math concepts, travel to a local grazing operation, portable/seasonal water systems, methods to access pasture production and determine stocking rate, hands-on small paddock set-up demonstrations.

Topics on the second day include fence types and costs, a grazing system design case study and exercise, grazing myths that impact profitability and a discussion on how to reinvigorate a rundown farm.
