The Clinton and Cumberland County Extension services partnered to host a series of Beef cow/calf related meetings in the winter of 2019. A total of six sessions were conducted utilizing UK beef, forage and Ag engineering specialists. The educational session topics were on utilizing co-product feeds to stretch the hay supply, cattle handling/bud box systems, vaccination protocols and pinkeye prevention, record keeping systems and technology, pasture renovation following a wet winter, and wildlife/black vulture control around calving pastures. The meetings averaged around 35 participants for each session. The sessions on stretching hay supplies and renovating pastures after a wet winter received the most comments about the techniques producers learned that could help them on their operations. One producer commented that “the options for getting grass growing where the cows had destroyed the pasture really worked well at my farm”.
