Summer brings the warm weather and sunshine. But for many producers across Kentucky, especially Owen County it brings the plague of pinkeye in cattle. In May the Owen County Extension Office partnered with United Producers Inc UPI) of Owenton to begin a brunch and learn series. The Owen County Ag Agent, Kendal Bowman, partnered with the UPI yard manager, Robert Green Jr., to address some timely monthly topics to educate local producers. In May to kick off the monthly Brunch and Learn they educated over 40 producers on preventive and treatment options for their herd. Many of the producers were engaged and had many questions. Several of the options they learned have increased their profits and improved their herd health.
