2012 Raising Livestock Series Starts 2/7

Looking for something to do with your land? New York's Southern Tier
is well suited for pasture-based livestock production. If you want to
have animals and/or sell pasture-raised meats, this series of classes
is for you. Learn from the experiences of successful farmers, and
from Cornell Cooperative Extension educators.

This first series of classes will be held at CCE-Tioga County, 56
Main Street in Owego on Tuesday evenings, 6:00-8:00 pm, February 7,
21, March 6, 20, and April 3. These sessions will cover how to assess
your land and choose livestock, review infrastructure requirements,
and get tips on pasture/hay management.

The second part of the series will be hosted by Tioga County
livestock farmers. Learn how they raise hogs (April 18), beef (May
15), sheep and goats (June 19), poultry (July 17), and horses (August
21). At the final class, September 17, you will learn how to navigate
NYS regulations and sell your local meat products.

Cost per class is $10 per farm ($75 for the whole series) and
includes light snacks and hand-outs. To register and for class
details, call (607) 687-4020, or email
