Grazing Cover Crops
2022-04-06 13:00 - 15:00 (America/Chicago)
Justin & Kendra Seeger are refining the art of rotational grazing with their beef herd by utilizing forage from perineal pastures during the growing season and cover crops during the winter. They’ve been grazing cover crops since 2016 and are achieving their goal of grazing all 12 months right here in central Wisconsin!
Justin is working closely with Derrick Raspor, Waupaca County NRCS Conservationist, in choosing cover crop mixtures for various grazing times & tracking the results. They will share seed mixtures for various seasons, mixture modifications and the associated finances.
