OSU hosts Livestock and Range Field Day Nov. 5
Oklahoma State University Agriculture will host the Livestock and Range Field Day Nov. 5 for producers to explore practical tools to support herd health and profitability. Topics will include virtual fencing, cattle efficiency, selection, forage management, New World screwworm and more.
