Grazing Mentorship Program

The Sustainable Grazing Mentorship Program is a consulting/mentoring program being delivered through Ontario Cattlemen's Association and funded by Greencover Canada. The Grazing Mentor program is open to beef producers in Ontario. The program helps connect experienced graziers (mentors) with novice producers to assist the less experienced in implementing Beneficial Management Practices in their grazing operation. A Grazing Mentor is a respected producer peer with extensive grazing management experience and knowledge. The Mentor can suggest grazing management options to help you improve your profits, your forage productivity and your land and water resources. 

A Grazing Mentor from your area will come to your farm to discuss your grazing resources, opportunities and challenges. The Mentor can make suggestions about fencing, watering systems, grazing systems, plant growth, forage species, winter grazing options, or just about anything your have questions about! 

The cost to the novice grazier is $100. The Mentor comes to the farm and assists the novice grazier with creating grazing plans, developing systems, and performing economic analysis of their enterprises. The mentor puts in approximately 16 hours (2 days) with the novice producer. To find out more, or to request a Mentor contact Paul Stiles, Ontario Cattlemen's Association 519-824-0334 or 1-866-370-2333.
