Livestock production fundamentals is a series of 8 webinars focused on providing livestock information to NRCS staff, partners, technical service providers, and other conservation professionals. These sessions will benefit anyone looking to become familiar with the principles of livestock production and successfully working with livestock producers to address resource concerns associated with animal agriculture. Future sessions will focus on individual livestock species including beef, dairy, sheep and goats, swine, poultry, and horses. The series will conclude with a session on livestock economics and marketing.
