Are your animals still grazing in January? Allen Shetler's sheep are! Join us for a farm tour to learn about techniques for stockpiling pasture and winter grazing small ruminants. See how Allen efficiently delivers supplemental feed to grazing animals using a Greg Judy-style bale unroller. Experience a sheep fencing demonstration and learn how to manage electric fencing for winter grazing. Network with others in the grazing community and discover grant opportunities to expand or improve your grazing operation. Representatives from the Tioga County Soil and Water Conservation District will be present to share information about grazing planning services and funding to support the development of grazing systems.

Hosted by CCE Tioga and the South Central NY Dairy and Field Crops Regional Team, and facilitated by regional Farm Business Management Specialist Mary Kate MacKenzie.

Out of consideration for biosecurity, please clean and sanitize your footwear before attending this pasture walk if you have been around other livestock. We will provide a boot cleaning station and plastic booties at the event.
