Grazing school set to start next week

The University of Kentucky Research and Education Center in Princeton will offer a Kentucky Grazing School from 7:30 a.m., to 5:30 p.m., Tuesday and Wednesday.

Grazing is the most cost-effective way for producers to feed their ruminant animals. The agenda for the school includes region-specific grazing information where participants will visit field sites, participate in field exercises, tour demonstration plots and participate in hands-on activities.

Pre-registration is required, as space is limited to the first 45 registrants. The cost, $50, includes materials, manual, breaks and lunch. To obtain an application, visit www2.ca.uky.edu/grazer or contact Crittenden County Cooperative Extension Service at 965-5236.
