OSU Extension and the Eastern Agriculture Research Station has made plans for the 2016 Fall Beef School. The dates for the school are Tuesday, October 4 & 11th starting at 5:30 p.m. to 8 pm and on Oct. 15th the program will run from 10 am, until 2 pm. The programs will be held at the OSU Eastern Agricultural Research Station in Belle Valley. A meal will be provided with registration. The school has been designed to address practical issues facing beef producers.
The first night we will cover local disease concerns in a veterinary update, buying or raising heifers and niche markets. The second night topics include keeping heifers in the herd, cattle minerals and preparation for calving. The last day will focus on forage management, weed control, sprayer calibration, and plant growth promoters.
The cost of the program is $15, which covers registration for one or all three days. Please register by completing and returning the registration form linked here.
