Ranch and Rangelands

The Winter Ag Meeting focused on the many aspects of prevention and treatment of Pinkeye (Infectious Bovine Keratoconjunctivitis IBK). This is a common problem for calves and cows of all ages and breeds in our region.

Information about and from past events and workshops related to livestock and natural resources will be posted here for the continued use of those who may benefit from the knowledge.

Targeted grazing is the controlled implementation of the timing, frequency and intensity of grazing to achieve specific goals. Targeted grazing applies these principles to specific vegetation or landscape goals (like control of invasive weeds, fuel load reduction, or ecological restoration).

Annual rangelands in the Sacramento Valley and Sierra Foothills are prone to fire. Download our After the Fire: Resources for Ranchers guide to get information about protecting your soil, restoring forage productivity, and preventing the establishment of weeds.
