Beef Quality Care to Stand the Test of Time

Author: Tyler Miller

Planning Unit: Lincoln County CES

Major Program: Beef

Plan of Work: Agriculture Sustainability and Marketing 2020-25

Outcome: Initial Outcome

Describe the Issue or Situation.

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. I aligned all the details up and worked with ag supply stores to provide materials to be used for the training.

Provide the Number and Description(s) of Participants/Target Audience.

There where 30 produces attend the training the ranged in age of high school to elderly. One female was in attendence. 

Provide a Statement of Outcomes or Program Impact. The impact from this training reaches different legnths due to te attendess that we had. The older more experiance producers knew most of the material while several learned new skills and information. this training is good for three years.
