Raising Your Bull Calves Can Add to Your Dairy Farm Profitability

December 7 - December 8, 2015


If you would like to learn more about raising dairy beef, Cornell Cooperative Extension and JBS meat packers will be hosting meetings at two sites to discuss the production and marketing of dairy beef.

Cornell University Beef Cattle Specialist, Dr. Mike Baker will discuss the beef cattle cycle, and rations that can be used when raising dairy beef.

CCE Livestock Specialist, Capital Area Agriculture and Horticulture Program, Tom Gallagher, will discuss vaccination programs for dairy steers and dairy beef quality assurance.

VP for Cattle Procurement at JBS, Larry Rose, from Greely, Colorado, will give an overview of JBS, including information on a feedlot leased by JBS in Nicholsville, NY, marketing dairy beef and risk management in regard to raising beef.

Please register for one of these programs by December 2 to give us an accurate lunch count. There will be no charge to attend these educational events.
