Raising and Managing Livestock

Whether you have an established farm or are just entering agriculture, there are many important considerations regarding the decision to raise livestock. Topics such as pasture management, infrastructure, breed choices, feeding, health, biosecurity, and markets are just a few of the considerations that every farm must be concerned about. The pages and links presented here are intended to help guide some of the decision-making. Of course, the University of Maryland Extension agents are always available to provide one-on-one assistance.
