A Grazing Club is a community of rotational graziers who work together to improve the management of their pastures. The number of Grazing Clubs has risen steadily since 1999 when Ducks Unlimited Canada initiated the first Grazing Club Program in the Brandon area. There are currently 30 clubs in existence.

Clubs hold informal meetings to acquire information on local grazing issues from expert speakers and researchers. Pasture tours are utilized to provide hands-on exposure to new forages, livestock watering systems, and pasture management techniques. Clubs may also provide members with financial incentives to establish forage and develop livestock watering systems.

The Manitoba Forage Council has added dedicated a section of their website to provide contact information about the Manitoba Grazing Clubs, pertinent factual information and a listing of all upcoming events for producers.
