Host: JR Jenkins

Address: 2266 310th St. | Wilton, IA 52778
Join JR Jenkins of Pleasant Prairie Stock Farm, to learn about rotationally grazing cattle and sheep on pasture and cover crops. JR solely grazes on leased land. He also breeds and trains livestock guardian dogs, direct-markets 100% grass-fed beef and lamb and owns a custom fence company. We’ll enjoy a potluck lunch with burgers from JR’s beef at his cousin’s wedding barn, where we’ll also discuss agritourism.
