Johnson County extension hosts range cattle nutritional needs workshop

Increasing conception rates by matching a cow’s annual cycle to the land and building more precise and less costly supplements are part of a “Meeting the Nutritional Needs of Range Beef Cattle” workshop Feb. 6 to 7, near Buffalo.

The workshop is 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. both days at the TA Guest Ranch, said Blaine Horn, University of Wyoming Extension educator based in Johnson County.

The workshop will be highly interactive, he said, including in-depth discussions and opportunities for questions and answers. There will be hands-on activities and exercises to help stimulate learning and understanding of the material.

“Ranchers will leave with a good understanding of the annual nutrient needs of their cattle and how to build more precise, less costly supplements that result in better animal performance,” said Horn.

Registration is $100 for the first person and $75 for each additional person from a ranch. Registration is requested by Jan. 31 and covers refreshments, lunches and other school costs, said Horn.
