2025 Workshops, Events and Deadlines
Pasture Walks Scheduled - June 24th and August 26th, 2025
Two Pasture Walks are planned for 2025 here in Coshocton County. These annual walks are a joint program led by Coshocton Soil and Water Conservation District and Natural Resources Conservation Services (NRSC) with support from OSU Extension.
The first walk will be Tuesday, June 24 at 6:30 pm at the J.D. Lawrentz Farm located at 49073 TR 200, Coshocton, OH 43812. It will feature small ruminant grazing and animal husbandry.

We hope you will join us for these events where you will hear directly from the landowners about their operations and get ideas to use on your farm. Reservations are not required.

Beef Quality Assurance is now scheduled - August 11th, 2025
In today’s market, it is important to take advantage of any and all opportunities to market cattle most desirable to the buyer. BQA programs ensure that beef and dairy cattle are maintained in a manner which will result in a safe and wholesome beef product for the consumer. As of now, Wendy’s, Tyson Foods, Cargill and multiple auctions have announced requirements that cattle they buy be from Beef Quality Assurance certified farms. BQA certification is required of beef AND dairy producers.
