Stocker Cattle: Tips to Entering and Navigating the "Mid-Way" of Beef Production

February 11, 2021

Stocker Cattle: Tips to Entering and Navigating the "Mid-Way" of Beef Production

Cornell Cooperative Extension's Livestock Program Work Team ( LPWT ) is pleased to announce the second in a series of beef production virtual learning opportunities: Introduction to Stocker Cattle. Stocker cattle are typically light weight calves, either heifers or steers, that are successfully weaned and available to enter the beef production phase with the main objective of adding body weight efficiently and economically prior to the finishing phase. Many regions of New York are well suited for stocker cattle during our grazing season allowing producers to make use of lush pastures or underutilized acreage. 

On Thursday February 11, 2021 from 7pm to 8:30pm beef producers interested in learning more about stocker cattle are encouraged to register for the virtual program.

Registration is free and is required by February 10, 2021 by visiting: https://tinyurl.com/2gf23cbk

Guest presenters include Beef Cattle Extension Specialist, Dr. Mike Baker and Jason Detzel, C.C.E. of Ulster Co. Livestock Educator and beef producer with first hand knowledge and experiences with stocker cattle.

2025 Cornell Food Beverage & Animal Feed Manufacturer Survey

December 19, 2025

Industry and Educational Advocates for New York State's Food, Beverage, and Animal Feed Manufacturing industries:

As you know, NYS has a diverse food and beverage manufacturing industry, in both the types of industries that exist and the wide distribution of firms by scale. Many manufacturing firms have strong backward linkages to agricultural production sectors in the state that support both farm-level and downstream food industry firms and consumers. In collaboration with the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets, a team from Cornell University's Charles H. Dyson School of Applied Economics and Management has recently rolled out the 2025 New York State Food, Beverage, and Animal Feed Manufacturer Survey. The industry will benefit from an updated assessment of the industry that informs private and public investments and opportunities to support firm growth and improved profitability.
