LARAMIE – How to get more out of grazing and protect grass resources is the focus of the Basics of Rangeland Management workshop Thursday, Sept. 7, at the Lance Creek School/Kremer’s Ranch northwest of Lusk.
The session is 8 a.m.-4 p.m., said Ashley Garrelts, University of Wyoming Extension educator.
“Ranchers and rangeland managers will learn skills that will allow them to improve their rangeland resource while maintaining their grazing animals,” said Garrelts. “The combination of classroom and field discussions will allow participants to learn the why and how of these skills.”
Garrelts said the morning session will cover soils, ecological site descriptions (ESDs), plant response to grazing, rangeland plant nutrition, grazing distribution and grazing response index.
The afternoon will be spent in the field discussing ESDs, plant identification, rangeland monitoring, on-the-ground forage production estimates and infrastructure
