Efficient
forage management and utilization is important to the profitability of a
livestock operation. The best way to promote efficient forage management and
utilization in a livestock operation is by incorporating management intensive
grazing practices. To educate livestock
producers on these practices MU Extension, Natural Resource Conservation
Service (NRCS), and the MO Forage and Grasslands Council are cooperating to
provide a Management Intensive Grazing School on May 7-9 at the Forest Park
Building, 206 East 5th Street, Appleton City, MO 64724. Classes will begin at 9:00 a.m. and end at
approximately 4:30 p.m. daily. This school is applicable and will provide
education in livestock and forage management for all grazing species, though
cattle will be emphasized. Educational
topics will include: The “Art and Science” of Grazing, Soils Management and
Fertility, Plant Growth, Forage Quality and Persistence, Fencing and Water
Systems, Matching Livestock and Forage Resources, Meeting Nutritional Needs of Livestock from
Pasture, Layout and Design of Grazing Systems, Economics of
Management-intensive Grazing and Outdoor Field Exercises and Tour of
Producers’ Farms. Furthermore, this program is required to receive MO SWCD cost
share funding and may help in receiving NRCS cost share funding for grazing
system development. Registration and payment are required to attend this event
by May 2. Register online at
https://shorturl.at/afwQX. Cost to
attend the event is $200 per person and $100 per additional person from the
same farm not needing materials. Fee includes materials, lunches, and
refreshments during the event. For all questions related to the event contact
the St. Clair County MU Extension Center at (417) 646-2419 or Patrick Davis MU
