Electric Fencing in Oklahoma - Understanding Some Basics and New Innovations
Information contained here is from an Electric Fencing Workshop sponsored by the Caddo County Cattlemen's Association and Caddo Kiowa Technology Center in Ft. Cobb, Oklahoma. The workshop was video taped and used to create these short videos covering the basics of electric fencing. The OGLCA provided a grant to support the workshops and development of these materials.

Management Following a Wildfire
Has your property been affected by wildfire? Are you unsure about what to do now and who to turn to for help?
The information contained in this publication can be used by landowners in making decisions about practices to implement after wildfire. The impacts of wildfires will vary between individual landowners and areas impacted depending on many factors.
Patch burn grazing is the application of prescribed fire and livestock grazing used to create a shifting mosaic of fire and grazing across a landscape that varies annually to increase the diversity and structure of the vegetation in a way to benefit wildlife and maintain livestock production.
Field Tools for Measuring Forage Production at the Farm / Ranch Level
Measuring forage production is an essential part of a grazing management plan. An accurate measurement of forage production can be used to calculate stocking rate, which will in turn influence economic performance of the grazing operation. A stocking rate below carrying capacity is unrealized income. Stocking rates above carrying capacity hurt the land, limit ability to survive climatic extremes and increases the cost of production.
