Outcome: Initial Outcome
After talking with local beef producers, it was determined there was a need for a class on cattle diseases. The ANR agent contacted Phil Prater, DVM at Morehead State University about conducting a class, he agreed. He put together a presentation entitled "You Make the Call: Cattle Diseases Common to Everyday Farming." The class was held in conjunction with a Mountain Cattlemen Meeting. Dr. Prater showed a series of pictures depicting various, common, cattle diseases. While there were several seasoned producers in the audience, most were stumped trying to distinguish one disease from another when similar symptoms were presented. The class was open dialogue with a lot of interaction between Dr. Prater and the producers. 17 producers attended, and all indicated that they gained knowledge from the class. One producer even went as far to say that "this was the best program I have attended."
