Pasture-Finished Beef Production Online Workshops

August 11 - August 13, 2020

Pasture-Finished Beef Production Online Workshops

Pasture-Finished Beef Production Online Workshops August 11-13, 7-9 PM 

Dr. Greg Halich, Associate Extension Professor, Livestock/Forages and Grain Crops Management, University of Kentucky

There has been a quickly growing consumer demand for Pasture-finished beef and the coronavirus has added to this demand. Opportunities to direct market a higher value product is appealing to many producers. However, getting adequate growth to reach a "finished" state and addressing market issues can be major challenges. The workshops are led by Greg Halich at the University of Kentucky, and Ed Rayburn at West Virginia University. Both are extension specialists and long-time producers of pasture-finished beef. A producer panel on the last night will offer insights from the full-time producers' perspective. Participants will receive a pasturefinished beef production manual and copies of all presentation materials. Hard copies of materials will be mailed to participants in VA, WV, and KY, and if available to other states. Electronic versions of the materials will be made available to everyone.

No Cost but need to REGISTER at: https://vaforages.org/event/pasture-finished-beef/
