The Beef cattle short course was hosted by the Henderson Co and Union Co extension offices. This was 4 weeks in Nov of 22 with two weeks being hosted in Union and two weeks in Henderson co. Each week we had about 12 producers in attendance for this series. The topics included growth promotant application, EPDs , Bale Grazing, Cattle Marketing, Cattle Nutrition, fall calving and reproductive management. Speakers included Dr. Jeff Lehmkuhler, Dr. Darrh Bullock, Dr. Chris Teutsch, Dr. Kenny Burdine, Dr. Katie VanValin, Kevin Laurent, and Dr. Les Anderson. This short course did have a few hands on parts throughout the course for producers to practice hands on items and with each week being something different the producers enjoyed that. Producers received handouts every week of the speakers and also recieved a calving book for the upcoming year.
