Planning Unit: Clinton County CES

Major Program: Beef

Plan of Work: Livestock, Poultry & Crops

Outcome: Initial Outcome

The Twin Lakes Cattle Association partnered with Clinton County Extension Service ANR Agent and UK Extension Beef Specialist Kevin Laurent to host a beef heifer development field day.  The field day location was Springhaven Farms a local cow/calf operation that has been transitioning to more bred heifer development in recent years.  Springhaven farms have been offering bred heifers in the West KY Bred Heifer sale the past couple of years.  UK Beef Extension Specialist Kevin Laurent attended the outdoor event to discuss heifer selection, growth and development as it pertains to replacement females.  The group of Springhaven red and black bred heifers served as the back drop for the field day as producers learned about selecting heifers based on age, size, disposition, udder and feet and legs.  Producers that attended the field day indicated increased knowledge and a better understanding of selecting replacement females for their beef herds.
