This virtual learning opportunity will be offered every Tuesday beginning at noon (EST) for 5 consecutive weeks March 2^nd - 30^th, 2021 with the 6^th session occurring at 7pm on April 6^th which will be formatted as a panel discussion. Each week will have an hour long presentation or discussion followed by ample time for questions. One-time registration is required by visiting https://tinyurl.com/dairygrazing - this registration is good for the entire series. There is a $25 registration fee which will cover access to all webinars, presented materials, and recordings.

This virtual learning opportunity will be offered via ZOOM with engaging presentations and open discussion. While the series will have an emphasis on dairy herds, all grazers are welcome. Topics covered will include: considerations for spring green up, dairy nutrition and grazing through the season, incorporating annual forages into the grazing season, managing lameness in your grazing herd, and getting the most out of your pasture investment.

Industry presenters will include Troy Bishop with Madison County Soil and Water District, Sam Corcoran with UMass Extension, Jeff Wheeler and Dr. George Dawson with Diamond V, and Don Burkhard with Cows Come First.
