BOVINA – The Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service will conduct the Stocker Cattle Conference from 9 a.m.-1 p.m. Aug. 12 at the Bovina XIT Center in Bovina.
“While much of Texas is burning up now with dry 100-degree weather, a lot of our region has continued to receive rain, which hopefully will set us up for an excellent grazing season,” said James Graves, AgriLife Extension agent in Parmer County. “With cattle prices as high as they are, we’ve planned this conference to offer producers the latest ways to maximize profits from their small grain grazing operations.”
Individual registration is $10 and includes lunch. RSVP to the AgriLife Extension office in Parmer County at 806-251-5120.
Conference topics and speakers, all AgriLife Extension specialists at Amarillo, will include:
– Market Outlook, Dr. Steve Amosson, economist.
– Stocker Cattle Nutrition and Bloat Management, Dr. Ted McCollum, beef cattle.
– Wheat Pasture Fertilizer Application and Management, Dr. Jourdan Bell, agronomist.
