Beef feedlot managers, owners, employees, and allied industries will learn new information related to feedlot nutrition and health at Nebraska Extension’s 2020 Beef Feedlot Roundtables Feb. 18 to 20 in Bridgeport, Lexington and West Point.
University and industry representatives will speak about improving the safety and health of employees, open pen management and repair and beef sustainability.
Employee safety is always a priority and various resources will be provided to address that issue. With recent weather challenges, discussions will center around pen maintenance options such as roller compacted concrete and the use of fly ash.
New research pertaining to beef sustainability and the beef industry as a whole will be shared. A Nebraska research update from Nebraska Feedlot Extension Specialist Galen Erickson will conclude the program. Topics from the 2020 beef report include water, shade, implants and more.
