Cattle production in Boone County is one of the important components of our local economy. There are constant changes in cattle production because of new research, better genetics, and new equipment. It is very difficult for cattle producers to find all this new information in one place. That is why the Boone County Extension Service’s County Agriculture Agent works with the Northern Kentucky Cattle Association and we conduct regular programming on new information to increase knowledge and awareness to the cattle producers on the new research and technology out there that will help increase their income from cattle production. Programs related to pasture and forage production, weed management, implementation of best management practices on their farms, reproduction programs on both bulls and cows, and the NKY Cattle Association annual meeting where we bring in experts in the field of cattle production to discuss their use of this new research and technologies that are available and how it has benefited them on their farms. This past NKY Cattle Association annual meeting had 140 local cattle producers in attendance. These attendees were able listen to the president of the Kentucky Cattle Association discuss the importance of cattle production to Kentucky, the Kentucky Beef Network discussed the locally sourced beef program that local grocery stores are able to sale to the consumer, and a visit from Ms. Kentucky who promoted the importance of agriculture.
