Master Cattleman
Author: Jay Hettmansperger
Planning Unit: Boyle County CES
Major Program: Beef
Plan of Work: Improving Agricultural Income
Outcome: Initial Outcome
Beef cattle remains one of the top agriculture commodities in our region but input prices and markets present challenges for producers. County ANR agents in Boyle, Garrard, Mercer and Lincoln counties teamed up to offer the Master Cattlemen program, an intense 10 session look at all aspects of beef cattle production. Agents worked with specialists to offer the program rotating each session throughout the area and as a result saw an increased number of producers participating in the program. Thirty five participating producers indicated they had gained knowledge in various areas ranging from nutrition to reproduction. One of the participants posted several good comments on Facebook and kept people posted after each session. 100% of attendees indicated they would utilize knowledge gained on their farming operations.
