Trip was planned for the Regional Cattleman's Association, including Woodford County producers, to tour cattle operations in South Dakota. 25 participants flew Sioux Falls, SD two days.  The first stop was University of Florida Beef and Forage Research Farm in Ona, FL.  We also toured BlackBeard Ranch and Daken Dairy.  These diversified operations allowed our producers to see different perspectives on cattle farming and learn new management techniques that may be well suited for Kentucky producers as well.
