A free educational workshop focused on stocker cattle management and risk protection will be held on Thursday, April 2, at 6 p.m. at the University of Missouri Extension Center in Hickory County, located at 22126 U.S. Highway 54 in Hermitage.
The event is organized in partnership with Hometown Crop Solutions and aims to help cattle producers strengthen their operations and manage risks in a fluctuating livestock market.
“Proper cattle management and protecting your profits in a volatile cattle market is important to stocker cattle operation sustainability,” says Patrick Davis, a livestock field specialist with MU Extension.
The workshop will provide practical guidance on improving stocker cattle performance and protecting farm profitability. Davis and fellow livestock field specialist Andy McCorkill will lead discussions on nutrition strategies and herd health management for stocker cattle.
In addition, Gavon Hutchison will present information on tools and strategies to reduce financial risk in stocker cattle operations.
“The workshop is free and a meal will be provided with support from Hometown Crop Solutions,” says Davis. However, producers must register by March 26.
Registration can be completed online or by calling the MU Extension Center in Hickory County at 417-745-6767. For additional information, contact Davis at 417-276-3313 or davismp@missouri.edu.
