Cow-calf nutrition meeting coming to north central Kansas

K-State Research and Extension will host the Cow Supplement Strategies meeting, a regional event for cattle producers focusing on nutrition. Barrett Simon, livestock agent for the Post Rock Extension District, says he is excited to offer this producer driven event as a chance for cattlemen and women to ask questions and discuss their winter nutrition plans with K-State specialists and industry experts.  

Topics covered will include: mineral supplementation with a closer look at vitamin A requirements, cover crop grazing management and effective protein supplementation. Shawn Tiffany, Tiffany Cattle Company, and Justin Waggoner of K-State Research and Extension also will present information. In addition, the meeting will feature a cover crop grazing panel made up of producers and members of allied industry.

This educational event will take place on Dec. 6 at the First Christian Church in Downs, Kansas. Dinner will be served at 12:30 p.m. and there is no charge to attend the meeting, thanks to the sponsor, Tracer Minerals. Please RSVP by Dec. 4 to ensure an accurate meal count to any Post Rock Extension District office, to [email protected], or by visiting postrock.ksu.edu.
