Sheep Board Promotes Targeted Grazing

The American Lamb Board held a Targeted Grazing Workshop in Maryland, where 28 producers from nine states gathered to discuss opportunities for growing sheep production in the U.S. through solar grazing. This was the sixth workshop of its kind since the program began in 2024. “Providing educational opportunities for producers is one of the board’s strategic goals,” says ALB Chairman Jeff Ebert. “These grazing workshops have been successful in helping producers across the country learn about opportunities to graze sheep on solar projects as a way to increase herd size and maximize profitability.” The workshop curriculum focused on the details of contract grazing while also offering producers resources to adopt sheep management best practices on their farms. Attendees also had the chance to network and discuss different aspects of grazing programs. ALB will host two more Targeted Grazing Workshops in Colorado during September and another in Kentucky during October.
