Alabama cattle and forage producers are being invited to "beef up" their herd and pasture management. 2024 Beef and Forage Field Days are offering producers inside access to some of the latest industry information. The events are put on by the Alabama Cooperative Extension System’s animal science and forages team.
“Producers will have the opportunity to get in the field to view current research and demonstrations on timely beef cattle and forage management issues,” said Kim Mullenix, an Alabama Extension beef systems specialist. “They will also get to interact with our Extension team, beef and forage researchers and students working on solutions to farm management issues.”
Each event is hosted at a research and Extension center in Alabama. The Field Days are free to attend, but registration is required.
