Outcome: Initial Outcome
In October of 2022 a group of local beef producers from Clinton, Cumberland, Russell, and Wayne counties toured the Kentucky Cattleman’s Association working beef farm in Owenton, KY. Producers toured working demonstrations that the Eden Shale farm has put into practice. Innovative and practical ways of feeding round bale hay to cows was the main focus of the tour, as well as water harvesting and heavy use areas. Producers that attended the farm tour gained insight into better ways to feed round bale hay as well as heavy use areas to limit mud during the winter months. Producers polled after the tour said it was well worth their time and several plan to implement some practices viewed at the farm. One producer that attended gave a presentation during the local cattle association meeting about the practices in place at Eden Shale.
