Farmer Matt Byler and his family run their farm with a New Zealand-style foundation—rotating cows based on the health of the pasture, rather than on a set schedule—and aren’t afraid to try out different and unique ways of farming.
Whether you’re a dairy farmer interested in transitioning to a pasture-based system or an established dairy grazier interested in gaining ideas and insights from your peers, join us to learn how Matt Byler’s team has fine tuned their dairy over 25 years to balance land efficiency, cow health, and milk quality.
Pasa’s Lucas Waybright will provide an overview of how to get involved in our new, collaborative dairy grazing mentorship, technical assistance, and marketing initiative—Dairy Grazing Project. He’ll also discuss opportunities available through Pasa’s Dairy Grazing Apprenticeship.
Free lunch will be provided from Rising Smoke BBQ (Lewistown, PA).
This event is supported by a grant from the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF).
