RINCESS ANNE, MD \u2013 (December 20, 2017) – How do you go about developing a winter grazing system?  That will be the focus of a workshop, to be held January 25 and 27, 2018, at the University of Maryland Eastern Shore (UMES).  The theme is Year-Round Grazing \u2013 From Pasture Establishment to Grazing Management and Soil Health. Dr. Chris Teutsch is the featured speaker. <\/p>\n\n\n

Feed typically represents 50-80% of total costs in livestock production systems. Winter grazing, however, properly planned and implemented, can dramatically reduce feed costs without sacrificing productivity.  Teutsch, a University of Kentucky forage extension specialist, will train his presentation on building a year-round grazing system for small ruminant and beef production.  He will discuss the use of both annual and perennial cool and warm-season forage species to develop year-round systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other workshop topics include guidelines for seeding new pastures and renovating old pastures, the importance of warm-season grasses in year-round grazing systems, nutrient management, legal considerations for farming operations and evaluating pasture soil health. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop concludes with a soil health evaluation and a field tour of the UMES year-round grazing demonstration project site. Workshop participants will see how the winter pasture paddocks have been established as well as the accumulated stages of growth from the previous season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop will be repeated on Saturday, January 27, to accommodate those not able to attend on Thursday, January 25.  Participants can earn 4 Maryland Nutrient Management CEU’s and 4.5 Certified Crop Advisor CEU’s!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Registration is required. The $20 registration fee covers a box lunch and all workshop materials. Participants should bring appropriate attire for cold weather and a walk through the pastures. Contact the UMES Small Farm Program at 410-651-6210\/6070 with any questions or if you need special assistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
