Cow Calf Boot Camp to be held in Oklahoma

Cow Calf Boot Camp is coming to Kingfisher, Oklahoma, April 8 to 10.

This yearly “camp” is an Oklahoma State University Extension program that is an all-encompassing three-day educational opportunity for cow–calf producers. Above is a picture from a previous camp.

This one-of-a-kind program is designed for both beginner and experienced producers interested in increasing their level of management and their bottom line.  These three days feature information about nutrition, health, forage management, and economics of cow-calf production, all taught by OSU Extension educators and specialists.  At the camp, participants can expect to work “hands on” with live cattle, solve management problems in small groups, visit local operations, and have ample opportunity for questions and discussion.

Since 2011, 14 camps have been conducted and more than 560 people have graduated. 

This year’s Cow Calf Boot Camp will be hosted at the Kingfisher County Fairgrounds. Registration is $150 and includes educational instruction, five meals, and an OSU Beef Cattle manual. Registration is being handled through the Garfield County Extension Office. To register, contact Dana Zook at dana.zook@okstate.edu or call the Garfield County OSU Extension office for registration and fee information at 580-237-7677.
