Dairy Grazing + Virtual Fence Pasture Walk

  • Koester Farm 5405 North Mill Creek Road Scales Mound, IL, 61075 United States (map)

Join us for a free educational pasture walk at a 110-cow organic dairy operation in northern Illinois. See rotational grazing in action, including the recent addition of Monil virtual fence!

This operation utilizes a mix of annual and perennial forages, and the walk will cover how the grazing system is managed across the season. Come ready to walk the land, ask questions, and pick up ideas you can take back to your own operation.

Topics covered:

  • Rotational grazing system design and paddock management

  • Monil virtual fence

  • Balancing annual and perennial forages for season-long grazing

  • Organic dairy considerations for grazing and input decisions

  • Open Q&A with the producer

This event is free and open to all Illinois producers.
