Swath grazing study needs respondents for online survey

A researcher is looking for cow-calf producers across Western Canada who want to take part in an online survey about swath grazing.

“We hope to capture information from about 500 or 600 beef producers about their experiences on swath grazing,” said Obioha Durunna, livestock research scientist at Lakeland College in Vermilion, Alta.

“We want to see what their motivations are for those of them that have engaged in it for quite a while and they’re enjoying it, and for some of them that have some hesitation or they’re hesitant to take on swath grazing, we want to know what’s the difference.”

Durunna hopes the survey will help researchers find solutions and supply information to producers to help them implement the practice where appropriate.
