Cornell University Announces New Grazing Website
Amy Barkley, Livestock Specialist
Southwest New York Dairy, Livestock and Field Crops Program
Cornell University has created a website to be used as a reference for livestock grazing. Key pages include current research, recorded webinars, publications, references, and tools for producers to help improve the production of their pastures and grazing stock. Most of the information currently available is focused on solar grazing, but more information and tools are being regularly added as the website continues to be developed. Visit the page at https://blogs.cornell.edu/grazing/.
A special thanks to Dr. Mike Thonney, Agnes Guillo, Niko Kochendoerfer, Lindsay Sprague, and the Cornell Sheep Program for getting this website off the ground!
