Beef Bash 2023 was held Thursday, September 21st at the C. Oran Little Research Center The theme of Beef Bash 2023 was “Vision of the Future”. The goal was to create an event illustrating the tremendous work done in the beef industry in Kentucky creating a vision of the future of the beef industry. The format was redesigned to accentuate all the work being done in Kentucky to improve the sustainability of the beef industry. We will have rotations featuring current research from UK and the USDA ARS group, educational opportunities sponsored by UK and Kentucky Beef Network and had several demonstrations by the UK Foods group and by the Kentucky Beef Council. In addition to these rotations, there was an update on new facilities being designed and developed for the new Beef Extension Education Facility in Princeton, the new Livestock Education Center in Versailles, and the new USDA ARS research facility located on campus.
