2020 Fall Beef Meeting
October 26, 2020
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
