Grazing conference Aug. 12-13 in Neb.

Jul 21, 2008 10:47 AM

The 2008 Nebraska Grazing Conference is scheduled for Aug. 12-13 in Kearney, Neb. The University of Nebraska’s Center for Grassland Studies coordinates the program, offering a chance to learn and discuss some of the latest thinking on grazing topics such as rangeland monitoring, modifying animal behavior, using co-product feeds for grazing cattle, marketing grass-fed beef and adapting to high feed and fuel costs. Bullpen sessions in the evening will allow open discussions between participants and presenters.

The fee for pre-registration before Aug. 1 is $75; after Aug. 1 the cost is $90. As an incentive to the next generation of ranchers, the university will cover the fees for the first 20 high school students who pre-register by the Aug. 1 deadline. For registration information, contact the Center for Grassland Studies, 402-472-4101, grassland@unl.edu or http://www.grassland.unl.edu/grazeconf.htm
