A sheep\u2019s rumen allows it to thrive on high-fiber forage and effectively convert sunlight and atmospheric nitrogen (nitrogen \u201cfixed\u201d into forage protein by legumes like clovers and alfalfa) into valuable human products like meat and wool and milk. But how can shepherds use sheep to harvest this forage in a profitable and sustainable way?<\/p>\n<p>By grazing. But good grazing is not just opening the gate and putting sheep into a pasture. Good grazing requires knowledge and good technique. In this Webinar we will discuss how to do this. We will review how forages grow and how to use sheep to manage your forage in a sustainable and efficient way. We will cover the principles of Management Intensive Grazing (MIG). This is not just rotating sheep through small paddocks. MIG is a way of understanding forage growth, relating the amount of pasture to animal requirements, allocating feed, and using sheep to manage forage efficiently and effectively. By properly managing our forages, we can reduce our feed costs, improve pastures, reduce weeds, reduce our break-even price, and increase the chances of turning a profit.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">This webinar is made possible with funding support from the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sheepusa.org\">American Sheep Industry Association<\/a> and the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.growourflock.org\">Rebuild the Sheep Inventory Committee<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><a onclick=\"ga('send', 'event', 'Downloads', 'PDF', 'MIG 101');\" title=\"Managing Your Pasture Better slides\" href=\"http:\/\/www.optimalag.com\/webinars\/2014-04-22_MIG101.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">PowerPoint Slides<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/link.rm0002.net\/go\/1DT_9LpAgm3jL4ACmYrc2w2\/\">View System Requirements<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Date: April 22, 2014 Presenter: Dr. Woody Lane Livestock Nutritionist &amp;
