Explore Grazing Plans with SDSU

By Scout Nelson

South Dakota State University (SDSU) Extension’s beef team is set to enrich the knowledge of livestock producers with their new webinar series, Cattle HQ Live. This initiative aims to enhance the health, productivity, and profitability of livestock herds through advanced pasture management techniques.

Scheduled on the third Thursday of each month at 2:00 p.m. CST, this series is a must-attend for those looking to transition smoothly into the grazing season. The webinars are crafted to tackle a variety of timely topics crucial for pasture management. This month, experts including Jameson Brennan, Jeff Martin, and Jaelyn Whaley, will guide attendees on developing effective grazing plans and the utilization of various tools to aid in pasture management.

A significant focus will be on multi-species grazing—a strategy that not only increases biodiversity but also helps in managing undesirable weeds and diversifying livestock portfolios. Such practices are beneficial for achieving various management goals and enhancing the ecological health of the grazing lands.

Participation in Cattle HQ Live is complimentary, but registration is required to access the Zoom link and receive timely reminders. By registering once, participants will gain access to all sessions in the series, ensuring they don’t miss out on any opportunity to learn from SDSU’s specialists.

For more details or to register, attendees can contact Julie Walker or Erin DeHaan, who are key coordinators and specialists at SDSU Extension. Their expertise and guidance will be invaluable to webinar participants looking to improve their pasture management strategies.

Cattle HQ Live represents an excellent opportunity for livestock producers to gain cutting-edge insights into pasture management directly from seasoned experts. Whether you’re looking to optimize your existing operations or explore new agricultural practices, this webinar series promises to be an essential resource for progressive producers across the region.
