The Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association (TSCRA) and Holistic Management Texas team up to offer a new "Planned Grazing" course at the Will Rogers Memorial Center in Fort Worth, Texas, April 21-25.
The five-day course, taught by Kirk Gadzia, will emphasize grazing planning, rangeland monitoring, financial planning and land planning. Classes runs from 8:00 a.m. to 4:15 p.m. each day.
Gadzia is the co-author of the National Academy of Sciences book, "Rangeland Health," founder of Resource Management Services and a certified educator with Holistic Management International. Gadzia works directly with producers to achieve profitability in their operations. He also provides customized training and consulting to a wide variety of conservation organizations.
Planned grazing is a specific method of planning to have the right animals at the right place in the right time frame for the right reasons. Although complex, this concept is not complicated and can result in dramatic improvements to land health, animal performance and financial success.
Participants will learn to plan for profit; manage land, animals and people; understand the water cycle, mineral cycle, community dynamics and the flow of sunlight energy toward profit; read the land to determine its health; plan infrastructure and land design; and plan grazing for maximum land and animal health.
Class participants will receive textbooks, workbooks, grazing planning books and software, PowerPoint slides, worksheets and course participant list. Registration is open through April 12.
