Ranchers depend on grass as a primary source of forage, whether it be rangeland, pasture or hay. While they carefully select species to plant as cover crops or plan a total mixed ration, many ranchers do not know the primary grass species their livestock consume.
Kevin Sedivec, NDSU professor of range science, weighed in on virtual fence experimentation projects done at the Central Grasslands Research Extension Center near Streeter, North Dakota. While the technology is still new and relatively.
Many producers are looking at newer virtual fencing technologies to save on labor, eliminate the need for electric fence or cross fencing, and help them adapt to rotational grazing.
South Dakota State University Extension will host a free virtual fencing workshop Jan. 11 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Box Elder Events Center located at 631 Watiki
