Participants will learn about winter feeding strategies that save on winter feeding costs and labor, and that can be done in a way that protects or enhances the pasture, the livestock, and other resources.
This webinar will provide winter feeding strategies that NRCS planners can share with livestock producers to protect natural resources and also benefit the livestock, reduce winter feeding costs and labor, and benefit soil health. Strategies discussed will include stockpiling forage, 'bale grazing' systems, and grazing winter annual forages. Our presenter speaks from experience planning these systems with livestock producers, as well as personal experience on his own livestock and pasture operation.
This webinar is presented by USDA NRCS Science and Technology.
