Selective palates, watershed discussions

| 1 min read

The variety of plants that grow on pastures are many, so how do cattle choose what to chow down on and what to snub? Laura Rance speaks with author and animal behaviour scientist Fred Provenza about the foraging habits of cattle and why taste is more than just flavour on the tongue; Western Producer reporter Ed White talks with Garry Wasylowski of the Manitoba Association of Watersheds about its ‘boots on the ground’ approach to watershed management, Ananda Fitzsimmons of Régénération Canada about the role that farmers play in preserving rural areas, and one Manitoba producer about how his cattle help support the natural environment. Hosted by Ed White.
