Associate Teaching Professor & Extension State Forage & Grazing Specialist

Division of Animal Sciences

Dr. Harley Naumann is an Extension State Forage & Grazing Specialist at the University of Missouri and a faculty member in the Division of Animal Sciences. He received a Ph.D. from Texas A&M University where he evaluated nutritional impacts of native rangeland legumes on ruminant animal production. Dr. Naumann conducts teaching, research and outreach focused on the plant-animal interface. His primary interest is planning and utilizing resilient forage-livestock systems that extend, and even out the unevenness of, cool-season grass-based grazing systems. Dr. Naumann’s work includes strategic use of perennial and annual cool and warm season forages to increase grazing days and reduce reliance on stored forages in both small and large ruminant animal forage-based production systems.
