Webinar Series to Focus on Range and Pasture Management

Nebraska Extension will host a six-part webinar series this fall to help landowners and livestock producers better understand how to identify, grow and manage grasses in pastures and rangelands. From the comfort of your computer, interact with participants and presenters and gather information specific to your pasture’s location.

The Knowing, Growing and Grazing Grass webinar series will run Monday and Thursday evenings, Oct. 13 through Oct. 30, from 6:30 to 7:45 p.m. MT (7:30 to 8:45 p.m. CT). Two optional sessions will also be held on Oct. 21 and 28. The course is limited to 30 participants.

“This series will give producers a solid foundation in range and pasture management,” said Aaron Berger, Nebraska Extension educator and program coordinator. “Whether it’s plant identification, understanding stocking rates or using drought insurance tools, participants will leave with practical, usable information.”

You’ll learn what the numbers mean, how to interpret them and see a step-by-step example of comparing EPDs between animals to help select genetics that fit your herd goals.
