Plan of Work: 2020 Beef Cattle Production (MTC, ANC, KLP)
Outcome: Intermediate Outcome
The Calloway County Cattlemen's association had dissolved many years ago and joined in with a regional group, over the years of that partnership the members from Calloway County have dwindled significantly. Over the last two years a group of 6 local farmers have worked to reestablish the individual county level association and have had great success. I have worked with them during their reestablishment to form a partnership with extension.
