Pasture Walk at University of Maryland WMREC

Join University of Maryland Extension for an educational pasture walk at the Western Maryland Research and Education Center in Keedysville, MD (Washington county).

This pasture walk will feature a mixed-species grazing system with sheep and cattle utilizing both perennial and annual forages. Discussion will include setting up a grazing system, mixed-species grazing, parasite management, utilizing annual forages to extend the grazing season, pasture renovation, and what to do with failed seedings. Extension educators are also starting work on a soil amendment study looking at diferent sources of fertility (compost, litter, etc.) on a pasture-based system.
