Post Weaning Value-Added Program – Feedlot (PVAP-FEEDLOT)
The Post Weaning Valued Added Program - Feedlot (PVAP-FEEDLOT) began in 2019 through a grant from the Kentucky Agricultural Development Fund and is administered by the University of Kentucky and the Kentucky Beef Network. The objective of PVAP-FEEDLOT is to encourage cow-calf producers to retain ownership and capture added value from their investment in beef cattle genetics, facilities, and improved management through diversified marketing strategies.
Justification: The quality of Kentucky cattle has improved tremendously over the last 20 years. Progressive producers may be able to capture more added value and a greater return on their investment in genetics by owning their cattle through the feedlot phase. This program will also provide an opportunity for cow-calf producers to gain valuable feedlot and carcass data on their herds.
