LEHIGH — Iowa State University Extension and Outreach will host a pasture management field day on Wednesday, July 10.

This pasture site is 200 acres of open mixed-species pasture and forested grazing lands that offer many discussion points for pasture management.

“This field day will cover the basics of pasture management,” said Russ Euken, beef specialist with ISU Extension and Outreach. “After three years of extended drought and short pastures for grazing, we will cover grazing management with surplus forage, establishing new pastures, renovating existing pastures and fertility options to help maintain pastures.”

In addition, this field day will allow for on-site weed identification and control options.

The farm is located at 2998 Park Ave., Lehigh. Grilled burgers will be provided by the Webster County Cattlemen at 6 p.m. The pasture program will start at 6:30 p.m. and conclude by 8 p.m.

Attendees are asked to register for the program so adequate food can be provided and also to bring their own lawn chairs. Consider wearing long pants and closed-toe shoes.
