Outcome: Intermediate Outcome
The ANR agent along with a U.K.Beef cattle specialist is working with a Boyle county beef producer to help him set up a management program for his small herd. We held two meetings with the producer to explain the IRM(integrated resource management) program and what is involved with his participation. The producer has never vaccinated, dewormed or had a defined calving season in the past. We have pregnancy checked the cows and done a vaccination program and worked with him with a date on pulling the bull out away from his cows. The demonstration is getting attention from some of the neighboring cow/calf producers as well. The long term goal is to have his calving season done in 90-120 days so that he will have a more uniform calf crop to sell and cut down on his labor of having to check cows year round since he does have an off farm job.
