A 5th generation beef farmer, Troy Bishopp has been using rotational grazing for over 20 years on his family farm. His hands-on experience is complemented by a degree in Animal Husbandry. Troy custom grazes 60,000 lbs. of grass-finished beef and stocker calves on 500 acres in up-state New York. He also manages a cow/calf herd. He is the grazing specialist/advocate for the Madison County Soil and Water Conservation District, and has received numerous awards for his leadership in grass-based agriculture. As someone who works on the land himself, Troy’s presentations are practical, and thought provoking.
