Kingston - The Cataraqui Region Conservation Authority has arranged an address on grazing and pasture management on March 19 at the Outdoor Centre at Little Cataraqui Creek Conservation Area.
The speaker will be Jack Kyle of the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs (OMAFRA). Mr. Kyle is well known through his extensive speaking engagements and written articles to Ontarians engaged in livestock and pasture management.

His admission-free talk begins at 7 p.m. and will be of special interest to all livestock owners.
Mr. Kyle's focus is ". . . anybody interested in doing a good job of managing their pastures. I'll tend to focus on beef cattle but my address also applies to sheep, horses, goats and dairy cattle . . . this is for anyone with grazing animals."
