It's wasn't Reed Shepard that saved the night, but rather Lincoln County Extension!

Author: Tyler Miller

Planning Unit: Lincoln County CES

Major Program: Beef

Plan of Work: Agriculture Sustainability and Marketing 2020-24

Outcome: Intermediate Outcome

Its was a perfect setup, with proper execution and a packed house the excitement was at an all time high. This may sound like you might be attending a Rupp Area basketball game watching Reed Shepard work magic. Instead, it was another flat out awesome extension meeting at the Lincoln County location. People poured in the building for the Cow/Calf meeting that is held each February. I planned a great night of information along with a wonderful beef ribeye meal. Attendees got to listen to an animal health topic focusing on mineral requirements for beef cattle. With several questions coming from the audience, this told me people were really plugged into the presentation. Our speaker, was excellent and held a PhD in animal nutrition. He had worked within extension in the deep south for several years and said he has never saw such a mass amount of people attend an extension meeting before. Welcome to Lincoln County!
