Grazing

Wisconsin’s Grazing Roots

Wisconsin’s deep roots in livestock agriculture grew from our state’s beautiful landscape, abundant clean water, and fertile soils.

Thoughtful grazing management will ensure that healthy living roots of perennial forages continue to nourish future generations and provide beauty and bounty in Wisconsin.

Our heritage. Our natural resources. Our future.
Rooted in grazing.
