2020 Fall Beef Meeting

October 26, 2020

2020 Fall Beef Meeting

2020 has been a challenging year for beef farmers with many new external challenges facing you. Although important, there is little you can do about challenges such as COVID-19 market disruptions or a shortage of processing capacity. This meeting will look at two important management opportunities that every farmer can impact on their own farms to increase their farms profitability.

Topic 1: Reproduction- The Key to Profitability
  • Pregnancy Rate: Why is this important and how does it impact profitability?
  • The impact on body condition on breeding
  • Breeding soundness exam
  • Role of nutrition and total herd health
  • Replacement heifer strategies
Topic 2: Cattle are Ready to Harvest
  • Live animal quality grading - learn what to look for to determine that an animal is ready to harvest
  • Importance of meat quality
  • Matching your meat's quality to eating experience to the expectations of your customers
To register, email Rich Toebe at rrt43@cornell.edu

Memoir Reading: Barn Gothic

December 4, 2025
Bath, NY

Barn Gothic is an elegy for family farmers and an intimate portrait of three generations laboring to be fathers and sons while their livelihood falls apart. Beautifully told with a farmer's restraint and a poet's grace, it is a story of personal loss amid corporate corruption and of finding a way forward when everything you know disappears.

NY Small Farms Summit 2025: Stronger Together

December 5, 2025
Alfred, NY

We hope you will join us on December 5th for the 2025 New York Small Farms Summit! This is an opportunity to meet other farmers and ag supporters, learn about research and education projects, and set priorities for future efforts to grow small farm success.

At the Allegany County site, we will focus on giving trees a chance and how trees build resiliency on small farms. Whether attracted to fruit, nuts, vegetables, fodder or shade, trees can be an integral part of a successful farming system. Join us as we explore the opportunities for resiliency that come from adding tree crops or managing wooded areas of your farm for agroforestry or silvopasture systems.
