SALINA, Kan. — What are your Valentine’s Day plans? Central Kansas District is hosting the “K-State Winter Ranch Management Town Hall” on Tuesday, February 14th, from 11:00 am until 4:00 pm in Salina, Kansas. Top livestock professionals from K-State’s Extension Beef Team will be sharing profit-enhancing strategies designed specifically for Kansas cattle raisers.
The meeting will feature a popular town-hall style question-and-answer session between Kansas’ cattle producers and extension specialists. Some of the hot topics to be discussed are: winter feeding and cow management; bull buying and selection strategies; preparation for calving and breeding season; and vaccination and animal health issues such as the new Veterinary Feed Directive.
“Early in the year is always a great time for producers, when the weather is bad and after they get chores done, to sit back, think and plan for the coming year, the calves that will be born in the spring and how they might manage those,” said Dr. Bob Weaber. “Certainly it is a good time of year to think about opportunities to reduce costs and enhance revenue streams.”
K-State’s Winter Ranch Management Town Hall meeting is made possible by Multimin and will take place at the College Conference Center located at K-State Polytechnic, 2310 Centennial Drive, in Salina, Kansas. Cost is only $15 per person and covers a meal, handouts, parking passes, and instructional materials. To RSVP please call 785-392-2147 or email anruiz@ksu.edu.
While you are making plans for February 14th, go ahead and plan to attend the K-State Winter Ranch Management Townhall in Salina.
