NW Pa. Grazing Conference
To Feature Irish Dairymen
DU BOIS (Clearfield Co.) For the
latest information on grazing, updates
on technological advances, and news
from other graziers around the state
and the world, plan to attend the Sixth
Annual Northwest Pennsylvania Graz
ing Conference here March 4. This
year’s conference will again take place
at the Ramada Inn in Du Bois, just off
exit 101 on 1-80.
Featured speakers will be Tom and
John Roche, brothers born and raised
in Ireland. Tom remained in Ireland to
operate a 100 head Holstein-Friesian
dairy herd that produces a 15,000
pound herd average on 200 acres of
grassland. In addition, he runs a
300-head flock of sheep on the same
acreage in a leader/follower system.
Because of Ireland’s dairy quota sys
tem, improving farm income by in
creasing production is not an option.
Tom Roche’s main objective is to maxi
mize his return per acre by controlling
or reducing his costs.
John took another route and ac
quired a doctorate in dairy nutrition.
He has conducted research in Ireland,
Australia, and currently works for Dex
cel, a dairy corporation in New Zea
land that conducts research on milk
production for U.S. and New Zealand
herds on both TMR and pasture sys
tems. Both men have visited Pennsylva
nia and the Northeast U.S. and feel this
area holds great promise for grassland
based dairy production.
The brothers will join forces for the
following presentations: “Is the Grass
Greenest in Ireland?”, “Grazing Op
portunities in the
Northeast U.S., An
Irishmen’s Point of
View”, and “Dairy
and Sheep in the Same
Farming System”
Several other nota
ble speakers on this
year’s program in
clude Jim Grace, Cor
nell University, and
Peter Mapstone, Man
lius, N.Y. They will
discuss cost of produc
tion figures from the
New York Dairy Sum
mary and from Map
stone’s own herd.
Dr. John Come
rford, beef extension
specialist from Penn
State University, will
explore the differences
between comfed and
grassfed beef and pro
vide samples for an ac
tual taste test.
This year’s fanner
panel will include Paul
and Beth Wingard,
beef producers from
Clarion County, and
Susan Burlingame,
sheep and chicken
producer from Warren
County.
Livestock and dairy
producers need every
advantage they can
get to stay competitive
in today’s markets. In
tensive grazing man
agement is one of the
tools available to
them. Improved man
agement of under-uti
lized pastureland pro
vides producers with
an opportunity to re
duce their cost of pro
duction, improve on
farm income, and
spend less hours on
the tractor seat.
The Northwest
Pennsylvania Grazing
Conference was
started six years ago in
an effort to bring the
latest in grazing exper
tise to our area and to
provide producers
with an opportunity to
share and exchange
