Don't Miss Out on the These Essential Solar Grazing Resources
Each month, the American Solar Grazing Association invites experienced graziers, sheep experts, solar companies, and top researchers to lead lively discussions on the latest developments in solar grazing at our virtual events.
We record each session and publish the replays on our ASGA members network.
Since 2018, ASGA continuously adds to an extensive resource library on solar grazing topics. Our Virtual events cover a wide-range of topics, including:
-
Targeted grazing resources and vegetation management
-
Managing large-scale grazing operations
-
Ecosystem impacts and the latest agrivolatics research
-
In-depth discussions with solar companies on site management and where the industry is going
ASGA members have exclusive access to our library of solar grazing recordings, as well as additional members-only virtual events each month.

Everything you need to know about Katahdins
From a ASGA member event, Tom Hodgman discusses how Katahdins are well-suited for low input grazing programs and gives us an overview of the history and current state of the breed, including recent research, genetic improvements through the National Sheep Improvement Program (NSIP) and why Katahdins' popularity has surged among producers. ASGA Board Member Caroline Owens co-hosted and talked about her great experiences raising Katahdins for solar grazing.

The Future of the lamb market and solar grazing
The incredible expansion of solar sites and the demand for grazing will likely bring about an unprecedented growth in domestic sheep production and expansion into new regions of the U.S. In order to prepare for the future of solar grazing, farmers will need to wrestle with a number of complex questions about the future of the lamb market and sheep supply.
For this ASGA member event, we brought together sheep industry experts in a moderated discussion to help us understand the current market and discuss its future.
