This conference is a joint effort between the University of Tennessee and the University of Kentucky. In 2022 the conference was held virtually on Feb 23rd, and focused on baleage production, grazing management, and stocker health research. The 2022 MSSC had 150 attendees (8 panelists/speakers, about 50 Extension personnel, and around 90 producers). There were 32 survey responses. Total cattle numbers reported by attendees included 1,387 brood cows and replacement heifers, 3,051 background/stocker calves and 416 finishing calves. The dollar value associated with the information gained at the conference and subsequent changes to management was between $1000 and $5000 per operation (45% respondents). Participants came from TN, KY, OH, PA, and IN.
