The NGC is designed for people with an interest in the utilization and conservation of our grazing lands, and a desire to learn the most current information on grazing livestock systems and their impact on our lands.

Beginning and experienced graziers, land managers, and policy makers can all benefit from attending the NGC. While the focus is on Nebraska, information is applicable beyond its borders, evidenced by the fact that participants come from several states each year. The average attendance at the NGC is 200 participants.

NGC Planning Committee, which is comprised of people involved in the state’s grazing livestock industry, public and private sector educators, and land managers, plans the annual conference, held each August in Kearney, Neb. The committee uses the suggestions from annual conference evaluations to bring in speakers of interest to attendees, making topics current and relevant.
