Maryland Grazing School and Advanced Grazing Workshop

University of Maryland Extension and partners are excited to be hosting both a grazing school and an advanced grazing workshop in Maryland this fall and invites grazers and livestock owners to attend one of these upcoming events.

The Maryland Grazing School will be held over two days on September 23-24, 2021 at the Western Maryland Research and Education Center in Keedysville, MD from 8 AM to 5 PM each day. Designed with producer interests in mind, this 2-day grazing school will offer a more in-depth education on pasture and grazing management. The course features multiple hands-on exercises to provide participants with opportunities to work with grazing tools and fencing materials. Topics covered will include forage selection, pasture assessment, grazing management, pasture allocation, fencing and watering options, extending the grazing season, and more! Enrollment is limited to 30 people to keep the group small and allow for more interaction and networking opportunities. For full details and registration information, please visit https://go.umd.edu/mdgrazingschool.

The Maryland Advanced Grazing Workshop will be held over two days on October 14-15, 2021 at Claggett Farm in Upper Marlboro, MD from 8 AM to 5 PM each day. This advanced grazing workshop will dive deeper into the principles behind grazing practices and increasing farm profitability, giving producers the tools and insights they need to improve their business. The workshop will be taught by Dallas Mount, one of the experts on the Ranching for Profit team and will feature a small group approach with team and class discussions, case studies, videos, and application to participants’ own situation.
