SUMMARY:Learn Firsthand Winter Grazing Techniques from Sieben Livestock
DESCRIPTION:Learn Firsthand Winter Grazing Techniques from Sieben Livestock’s 20 Years of Experience \nCooper Hibbard\, from Sieben Livestock\, located near Cascade\, Montana\, will be hosting four winter grazing sessions on January 22nd\, February 15th\, March 15th\, and April 15th.  \nThese full-day on-site workshops will cover every thing you need to set up a regenerative grazing system on your ranch. With over 20 years of winter grazing knowledge\, Cooper will walk you through:  \n\nEstimating feed available and stocking capacity \nForage production\, budgeting\, and allocation \nAssessing range and soil condition/health \nCattle behavior\, condition/health\, genetic considerations\, grazing habits\, and herd instinct • Winter strategies to water availability and distance \nSupplemental and replacement feeding  \nPlanning and practical experience making a move \nHow will these impact and be implemented on summer pasture \n\nThere is so much more you will take away from these workshops. It’s one thing to talk about how to implement  these techniques continually\, but it’s a whole other ballgame actually to see it working on the ground. The cost  of one workshop is $150 per person\, with each additional ranch employee/owner only $75. For those who at tended the workshops last year and would like to join again\, the cost is also $75. Checks can be mailed to  Sieben Live Stock Co.\, 2469 Adel Road\, Cascade\, MT 59421  \n“It was amazing to see firsthand how differently cattle behaved and how  well the grass responded to this management style. I picked up plenty of  practical information I could apply right away on my place\,”   \n– Ron Halverson\, Halverson Ranch Big Timber\, Montana  \nContact Cooper for more information and to register. cooper@siebenlivestock.com

SUMMARY:NACD 2021 Urban Agriculture Conservation Grants
DESCRIPTION:NACD 2021 Urban Agriculture Conservation Grants\nNACD is accepting applications for their Urban Agriculture Conservation (UAC) Grants\, and CDs from states in the Northern Plains region (which includes Montana!) are especially encouraged to apply. NACD wants CDs/communities from all regions to benefit from this funding\, and so far CDs located in these regions have received the smallest percentage of UAC grants. \nAdditionally\, NACD launched a new UAC grant option this year. CDs may still apply for the traditional UAC implementation grants (up to $50K)\, and NACD added a second planning grant option. Planning grants (up to $10K) are for CDs in early stages of exploring urban/community conservation work and who could use some funding to support efforts such as developing partnerships or conducting a community needs assessment. The idea is these planning grants would position CDs to be more effective in their long-term efforts and more competitive for an eventual UAC implementation grant. \n\nMore info and the application are available on the NACD website: https://www.nacdnet.org/about-nacd/what-we-do/urban-and-community/\nRequest for proposals: https://www.nacdnet.org//srv/htdocs/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/UAC-FY2022-RFP-1.pdf\nContact: Ariel Rivers\, NACD Pacific Region Rep (ariel-rivers@nacdnet.org)
