The first Advanced Kentucky Grazing School will take place July 10 at the University of Kentucky College of Agriculture’s C. Oran Little Research Center in Versailles.

The one-day school is for participants who have previously attended one of UK’s grazing programs. UK College of Agriculture specialists will reinforce and provide a more in-depth look at important concepts related to grazing and livestock management and share findings from recent research, said Lyndsay Jones, UK Master Grazer program coordinator.

Registration begins at 8:30 a.m. EDT. Topics include strip grazing and livestock management, summer annual forages, health considerations for grazing ruminants, tall fescue varieties and management, benefits and limitations of herbicides and ultra-high density grazing. The program will also include demonstrations and hands-on activities.

The registration fee is $20. Registration forms are available on the UK Forages website at http://www.uky.edu/Ag/Forage/ or at the local office of the UK Cooperative Extension Service.
