Whether your cattle stock consists of hundreds or just a few,
you’re sure to benefit from the University of Georgia’s annual
Mountain Beef Cattle Field Day April 19.
The field day will start at 9 a.m. and end at 3 p.m. at the
Georgia Mountain Research and Education Center in Blairsville,
Ga. Participants will learn the most up-to-date, research-based
information from UGA, Clemson and North Carolina State scientists.
This year’s topics include:
- How to market hay with the help of relative forage quality.
- A producer’s perspective on harvesting grass.
- Parasites of cattle.
- Herbicides to use for pastures and fence rows.
Researchers will discuss the economics of fall versus spring
calving, too, and production and storage losses of hay. Producers
will also see firsthand results of a stocker research project
using Bio-Mos feed supplement.
There is no charge for the field day, and lunch will be provided,
