Beef & Forage Night Focuses On Managing The Young Cow

By Stanley Smith
 
One of the most expensive investments in any beef herd is the young cow. She’s also the one most at risk of not remaining in the herd very long if not managed properly. With that thought in mind, managing the young cow for profitability will be the primary focus of the 2016 OARDC Jackson Agricultural Research Station’s Beef and Forage Field Night scheduled for Friday, August 26.  The meeting location is 019 Standpipe Road, Jackson, OH 45640.
 
Also on the agenda for the evening will be discussion of the Veterinary Feed Directive (VFD) that will have significant impact on the use of livestock antibiotics beginning on January 1, 2017.
 
Individuals from the Ohio State University Department of Animal Science and the OSU Extension Beef Team will serve as resource persons.
