Success StoryCounty Cattlemen's Group



County Cattlemen's Group

Author: Matthew Chadwick

Planning Unit: Calloway County CES

Major Program: Beef

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. Through that new partnership we have seen a 10 fold increase in attendance at livestock meetings, started an annual hay testing program that saw an increase of 200% of summer hay samples collected, and have greatly increased our contact list for livestock producers in the county.
