Swath Grazing To Extend The Grazing Season

Swath grazing can be used to extend the grazing season, while reducing various costs for cattle producers. Researchers are developing crop varieties and species better suited to swatch grazing that will provide higher yields and nutrition for cattle. Dr. Vern Baron, research scientist with Agriculture Canada in Lacombe, is one of those researchers, and I had a chance to chat with him about swath grazing.

Doing vaccinations when life happens. It is not always rosy working with cattle or any livestock. Including people and dogs, ha aha. But in the end, it all came together, even after pushing the 5 cattle that got out due to me not having the head gate closed properly... twice!
