This workshop intends to improve understanding of plant growth, grazing rotation, sound rangeland management practices and how these principles can improve your ranch profitability. It is our intent to provide an overview of the multiple uses of rangelands and highlight the need for ranchers to interface with all other users of the land base. In addition, ranchers may have the opportunity to increase the value of production off their private and Crown range through the implementation of the tools presented in our workshops. Topics covered: Rangeland Plant Growth, Time & Timing of Grazing, Range Nutrition & Animal Behaviour. A registration fee of $25 will cover the cost of lunch, and classroom materials.
