*CANCELLED* Producing a Consistent Product

April 14, 2018


For Livestock Producers: Beef Cattle, Hogs, Sheep & Goats

Producers are always searching for a marketing avenue for their products.  The real issue is that the buyers/consumers are looking to purchase a consistent product, not just a product.  By having a consistent product, producers can maintain their current customers and gain additional ones.  Please come join Ashley McFarland, Area Livestock Specialist, for a half day event regarding this topic.

Dr. Cindi Shelley, Animal Science Professor from SUNY Cobleskill
Dr. Michael J. Baker, PAS, Ph.D, Beef Cattle Extension Specialist
