The biggest expense for a livestock farm is feed, and cattle eat a lot. No matter if you are a beginning farmer or an experienced rancher, everyone can learn to better manage their forage situation. This four-hour course is split into two weeks and will run through the basics of rotational grazing. Learn to improve your land, your animals, and your wallet. Registration closes on March 9.

Your Instructor
Classes are taught by Jason Detzel of Cornell Cooperative Extension of Ulster County. Jason is a social worker turned farmer and owner of Diamond Hills Farm, a pasture-based cow/calf operation in Hudson, New York. When he is not grazing, watering, or calving he serves at the Livestock Educator for CCE. He gets up early, tries to stay up late, and likes looking at his collection of unread books. He enjoys talking farm and has an opinion and possibly advice on most anything relating to livestock. He is happiest at that time of year when you can smell the soil but not the cold!
