Major Program: Beef

Outcome: Intermediate Outcome
Beef Bash 2019 was held at the Oran C. Little Research Farm in Woodford County in the Fall of 2019 and 12 producers from Harrison County made the trip. There was a total of around 400- 450 participants at the event and several great speakers and vendors to learn from. Stations were setup around the farm to discuss different aspects of the beef industry and participants were free to chose the speakers they wanted to listen too in order to best benefit their operation.
Producers from Harrison County attended sessions such as weed control in pastures, utilizing slop for distilleries as a feed source, composting, the utilization of drones to monitor cattle, pasture rotation, etc. Overall, the producers from Harrison County stated they learned something new to take home to their own operation to try to improve profitability. All of the producers that attended the Beef Bash 2019 said they would like to attend Beef Bash 2020 if they are able to work it in their calendars.
