Livestock

Genetic Lockbox

Genetic Lockboxes officially launched on National DNA Day in April 2024. The activity consists of genetically focused puzzles participants solve to obtain the combinations to the various locks on the box.

Pasture Precision Program

Precision pasture grazing is a practice where livestock are rotated through smaller, specific areas of a pasture to maximize the use of available forage while minimizing overgrazing. This method helps improve soil health, reduce the risk of erosion, and promote more efficient use of resources. It also allows for more control over the grazing intensity, leading to better long-term pasture health.
