The University of Kentucky Master Grazer Education Program is hosting a Winter Feeding Field Day on Dec. 13, 2025, from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. CST, at the UK Research and Education Center in Princeton.

According to Extension forage specialist Chris Teutsch, producers and agents who attend the field day will learn about stockpiling cool-season forages for winter grazing, hay sampling and testing, and hay feeding strategies that reduce waste and improve nutrient distribution.

"It’s an excellent opportunity for producers to learn, ask questions and connect with others who share the same goals for simplifying winter nutrition,” Teutsch said.

Lunch will be provided thanks to the field day sponsors: Kentucky Agricultural Development Fund, UK Forages Extension, Kentucky Forage and Grassland Council, and the Kentucky Beef Network.

The event is free to attend, but registration is requested to help organizers plan for lunch. Register at https://2025winterworkshop.eventbrite.com/.

Participants should arrive at 300 Extension Farm Road, Princeton, Kentucky, and follow the signage to the field day location.
