Join us at Graceland Dairies, the farm of Holly Burley Moore, for a discussion on how she keeps her overhead costs low on her grazing dairy. Holly milks a closed herd of 550 medium-framed cows on pasture. She uses seasonal calving and outwintering to reduce labor demands and overhead costs. A tour of the farm will focus on the grazing and feeding system, group raising calves, the milking system, and outwintering. Other experts will be on hand to discuss supplemental feeding, lanes and drainage, and the economics of low-overhead dairy grazing. Lunch will be provided. Event is free thanks to support from Livingston County Soil & Water Conservation District.
This field day is made possible through efforts and resources of the following organizations:
