2023 Maryland Grazing School:

The Maryland Grazing School will be held Sept. 21-22 at the Western Maryland Research and Education Center in Keedysville from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day. Designed with producer interests in mind, this two-day grazing school will offer a more in-depth education on pasture and grazing management.
The course features multiple hands-on exercises to provide participants with opportunities to work with grazing tools and fencing materials. Topics covered will include forage selection,
pasture assessment, grazing management, pasture allocation, fencing and watering options,
extending the grazing season, and more. Enrollment is limited to 30 people to keep the group
small and allow for more interaction and networking opportunities. For full details and
registration information, please visit go.umd.edu/grazingschool.
This event is held in partnership by University of Maryland Extension, the Maryland-
Delaware Forage Council, Maryland Grazers Network, NRCS, and NE SARE.
