  •  Manitoba Forage & Grassland Reference Manual
    The Manitoba Forage Council developed this reference manual and it has been updated twice – most recently in 2010. It is available as a pdf (the 2010) version and the 2007 is available directly on the website (no downloading is necessary).  In this manual you will find a variety of technical fact sheets and articles that should be useful to those in the Forage/Livestock industry in Western Canada. It has been compiled from numerous sources to provide you with a convenient source of information. The Western Forage Beef group’s www.foragebeef.ca website was a key source of information. This reference information can be used by producers to assist in grazing management planning, investigating alternatives for livestock watering facilities, fencing options, and utilizing a combination of tame and native forage production and management techniques.
