2019 Butler County Stockman’s Association Activities

Author: Gregory Drake

Major Program: Beef

Livestock Production is a major enterprise in Butler County’s agriculture.  The Butler County Stockman’s Association is a group of livestock producers that support our county’s livestock industry.  They sponsor educational programs, support youth livestock events, provide a scholarship, and conduct a breeding stock consignment sale each year.  During the fall of 2018 they held a beef cattle field day.  The agriculture agent helped facilitate the program. &nb
