Outcome: Initial Outcome

Historically, within Boyle County the cattlemen's association have been very active having regular meetings and events but due to the COVID-19 Pandemic at the start of 2020 and the retirement of a long tenured ANR Agent this group of passionate producers hadn't held a meeting since before the pandemic. After meeting with several cattlemen in the county the current ANR Agent worked with cattlemen board of directors to plan a meeting to reenergize the group. The ANR Agent helped facilitate in food preparation for the meal and spoke about strategies producers could use to mitigate drought stress on pastures. Thirty-one beef producers were in attendance and one producer sampled and got their hay tested as result of this program.
