University of Georgia

Beef cattle producers who want to better market their cattle
should attend one of two workshops to be held June 30-July 1 in
Florence, SC, and July 27-28 in Tifton, GA.

Specialists from southeastern universities and the U.S.
Department of Agriculture will combine hands-on learning and
live animal evaluation with classroom examples to help cattlemen
reduce their risks and improve their profits.

Participants will see live cattle and learn how they fit into
today’s market. They’ll learn about cattle cycles, how to
anticipate prices and use futures and options to increase
profits. There will be a session on alternative marketing
methods, too, such as video board sales, tele-auctions and
marketing cattle with other producers.

Registration is $35 and includes materials, meals, breaks and
refreshments for one workshop. Register online at
