Preparing Cattle for Market to Optimize Value
June 9, 2015
6:00 - til dusk
Houghton, NY
In NYS many of our feeder calves go directly to auction with producers having little control over prices received. Working together producers, stockers and auction barns can improve prices for cattle in our state. Creating a consistent, quality stream of animals is a key factor to success of this statewide project. Cooperatively we can improve profitability and grow the beef industry.
Mikelholm Holsteins Pasture Walk
June 26, 2015
11:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m.
Stafford, NY

Cornell Cooperative Extension's NWNY Team is planning a pasture walk at the farm of John and Sue Mikel. John and Sue own and operate Mikelholm Holsteins, a small grazing dairy they started on a 30-acre field they purchased seven years ago. They built a house and barn with a parlor. They graze their 35 cows plus youngstock on the remaining land and supplement with purchased feed. They also knew grazing would provide health benefits to the cows and reduce demands on labor. An added benefit was the reduced bedding costs while the cows are out on pasture.
