Join the Beef Farmers of Thunder Bay on Saturday, September 24 for a fall pasture walk! Dana Penrice will be joining us from Manitoba to share how you can observe the impacts of different grazing management practices on your farm. Participants will learn about signs of degradation and regeneration. We’ll discuss the potential outcomes of different grazing techniques and what producers might consider when making management decisions.Dana Penrice farms with her partner Ted Chastko at Shoal Lake, Manitoba on a grain and cattle operation. She began her farming career in Alberta raising grass fed beef, lamb and pastured chicken for customers in Calgary and Edmonton. Her love of the land and farming community led her to study Holistic Management and regenerative agriculture. Dana is an Accredited Professional with the Savory Institute and runs the Ecological Outcome Verification program in Manitoba that assesses ecosystem health on farms. This works takes her to see a wide variety of farm contexts and the amazing work that farmers are doing to steward the land for our future.This Pasture Walk is an OSCIA-recognized On-Farm Climate Action Fund (OFCAF) Knowledge Sharing Event for applicants with approved Rotational Grazing Management projects.
