Pasture Walk
Wednesday, August 20th, 6:00pm - 8:00pm
Location: Anthony Marco's Farm - Woodhull, NY
Join us on one of our region's sheep farms to walk their pastures and explore managing sheep in a frequent rotational grazing system. We'll discuss how evasive grazing techniques and frequent rotation leads to better pasture health, greater forage yields, and lighter parasite burdens in sheep and goats. We'll also cover:
- Evaluate hay samples and how to read their reports
- Review how to interpret soil samples
- Discuss how soil fertility impacts forage production
- How to use evasive grazing to mitigate parasite pressure
The farm tour will be led by Anthony Marco and conversations on the topics above will be led by Katelyn Miller, Field Crops and Forage Specialist and Amy Barkley, Livestock Specialist with the CCE SWNY Dairy, Livestock, and Field Crops Program.
This event is free to attend
