About Graze 300

Graze 300 VA is an educational initiative dedicated to helping Virginia livestock producers achieve up to 300 days of grazing each year through improved pasture management and environmental stewardship. By shifting winter feeding toward grazing and reducing reliance on costly hay, the program aims to boost farm profitability, enhance soil health, and improve water quality across the region. With significant economic potential for cattle, sheep, goat, and equine operations statewide, extending the grazing season offers meaningful benefits for both producers and the environment.
