Two new programs held for beef producers, one also involving the Livestock Events Center as well as office meeting space.   Three day AI School held in conjunction with Accelerated Genetics and local stockyards that provided demonstration animals.  Fifteen producers from three counties participated.

UK Beef IRM team's Bull Value Assessment Program held here in January and February.  This very well received program involved producers from several surrounding counties.   Positive evaluations rated this program extremely valuable to those that participated and several new skills developed.
