Sheep owners and others interested in forage management are
invited to participate in the sheep grazing/forage management tour scheduled
for July 11 in Noble County. The tour
will be conducted in the rolling hills of Noble County, with 4 stops.
Topics to be discussed at the farms will include information for the
beginning sheep farmer, cool season pasture species, use of minerals, fencing
and rotational grazing management, breeding management and marketing. Each farm will have something different to
offer as they explain how their operation works for their farm and family. The sharing of ideas is how we all learn.
Resource people for the day will be Bob Hendershot of Green
Pasture Services, Clif Little, OSU Extension Guernsey County, Breanna Pye, OSU
Extension Noble County and Troyce Barnett, NRCS grasslands specialist. They will be on hand to provide information
about pasture grasses, grazing management, sheep production and to answer all
your questions.
Pre-registration is required and is limited to the first 50
people. Thanks to financial sponsorship
