The Grass-Based Livestock Working Group is a community made up of grass-based livestock practitioners and the outreach professionals who support them.
Our strength is in diversity, and our members raise multiple species of livestock in highly-varied production systems all over Iowa.
The goal of the Grass-Based Livestock Working Group is to boost viability of the grass-based livestock industry in Iowa by supporting diverse groups of passionate practitioners and outreach professionals who are willing to share knowledge and work toward sustainability.
