FIELD DAY Grazing Infrastructure with Eli Mack


Learn the basics of electric fencing and watering systems for rotational grazing, then tour the pastures to see these systems at work. 

Flexible and reliable fencing and watering systems are critical to rotational grazing. Join us at Ben Blank’s farm in York County, Pennsylvania to learn how current tools and techniques can be integrated into your operation. 

About the trainer: Eli Mack is owner of Mack Farms, where he grazes highland cattle, hari sheep, and meat poultry. He’s also a content development and product specialist for Kencove Farm Fence Supplies, a Savory Institute Accredited Professional, and part of the Regensylvania holistic management learning hub.

Eli is passionate about helping other graziers find creative solutions to mimic nature and enhance ecosystem processes. 

About the farm: Ben Blank’s farm is a 80-acre dairy farm milking 35 A2A2 cows using rotational grazing for a 100% grass-fed milk market (Origin Milk). Using perennials and some annuals, he supplies all of his animals’ nutrition needs from the land. He has an established electric fencing system and buried water lines with hydrants for flexible paddock creation.
