To address continuing needs for educational opportunities and guidance for local beef producers, the University of Kentucky conducts Beef Quality Care Assurance trainings through county Extension offices. Agents must be familiar with best practices to work effectively with the farmers. In May, the Laurel County Extension Office joined with the University of Kentucky and the Kentucky Cattlemen’s Association to present a “train the trainer” program for Beef Quality Care Assurance. Classroom style instruction was provided at the Extension office by University beef specialists, followed by chute-side practical training for the agents in attendance.
