Ontario Cattlemen's National Sustainable Grazing Mentorship Project

Enhancing Profits and the Environment through Grazing Management

What is a Grazing Mentor?

A grazing mentor is a respected producer peer with extensive grazing management experience and knowledge. He can suggest grazing management options to help you improve your profits, your forage productivity, and your land and water resources.

What help can I get?

A Grazing Mentor from your area will come to your farm to discuss your grazing resources, opportunities and challenges. A grazing mentor will:

• Make suggestions about fencing, watering systems, grazing systems, plant growth, forage species, winter grazing options or just about anything you may have questions about!
• Be available for phone follow-up to help you in the decision making and the implementation of your new grazing management choices.
• Provides about 16 hours of mentoring with you.

How do I find out more and get introduced to a Grazing Mentor?
