Fifteen participants absorbed a concentrated dose of education on sustainable livestock management at the Kerr Center’s grazing workshop on June 9, 2018. The Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma sponsored the workshop.
This summary of the workshop contains links to all materials, both for participants who’d like an electronic copy, and for those unable to attend. For those looking to learn still more, the Kerr Center’s livestock library contains many more resources on sustainable livestock husbandry.
