Greetings Cochise Graham Cattle Growers Members,
On September 24th, I attended the Lehmann Lovegrass Workshop sponsored by the University of Arizona Cooperative Extension. The presenters were very knowledgeable and informative. The U of A Cooperative Extension have conducted numerous range/livestock and agriculture workshops over the years. If you haven’t had the opportunity to attend any, I can attest they are worthwhile. While some of our members were able to attend the lovegrass workshop, I would urge others to take a trip to that area of Cochise County to see first-hand the benefit that mesquite removal has had on the lovegrass and other native grasses. I was amazed.
Many thanks to Robbie and Pam Sproul for hosting this event and to the Hereford NRCD for providing a great (BEEF brisket) lunch!
Good luck in your Fall works,
Don Lackner
CGCGA President
