Outcome: Initial Outcome

Local cattlemen's association programs held this year included: Livestock risk protection and options, Cattle Marketing Options, Changes to antibiotic prescriptions, UAV's in Livestock Production, Stretching Hay Supplies, Developing business plans, and weed control in pastures. 

88% said they attend local cattlemen's events to lean more about the cattle industry. 85% said that attending cattlemens meetings at the extension office have helped improve efficiency in their farming operations, and topics were timely and applicable to their farming operations. 85% learned practices at cattlemen's meetings that have improved the comfort of their cattle. 90% noted that they have made connections at meetings that offered them advice that helped to correct issues they had on the farm.

The Beef advisory Board helped plan a Field Day on blood pregnancy testing and picking replacement heifers that was hosted on a local farm.
