The grazing management project was established to evaluate and demonstrate the use of various remote grazing management technologies. Olds College is working to evaluate the functionality and value of several technologies to help producers understand how these technologies can help increase the efficiency of their intensive grazing systems. The project is also comparing intensive and conventional grazing systems, side-by-side, to quantify the differences on animal performance, forage production and soil health (conventional vs rotational).

Two-year study focused on evaluating a range of technologies aimed at enhancing the monitoring and management of grazing cattle, particularly within rotational grazing systems.
