Kentucky is the largest beef cattle producing state east of the mississippi river and Lincoln County is the fith largest beef producing county in KY. That means one thing, we have a lot of beef cattle producers and those producers need certain trainings. Thats where i step in. I held a BQCA training for those beef producers that were in need. I worked with the local livestock market and utilized their facilties and cattle they had on hand so we could offer a hands on training.
Describe the Outreach or Educational Program Response (and Partners, if applicable).
Producers learned how to adminster shots, give ear implants, and work cattle effiecantly and safely. I taught a portion of the class, help administer the test and report those to the cattlemans main office.
