This will be an action-packed two days featuring a variety of topics from cattle health and well-being to pasture management and land stewardship, complemented by low-stress cattle handling demonstrations.
Producers can engage with esteemed cattle producers who have been recognized for their land stewardship efforts at the regional and national levels as they participate in an interactive panel, offering insights into their approaches to raising beef cattle while enriching their land. A tour of the nearby University of Wisconsin Lancaster Ag Research Station will showcase the work done there with a focus on soil conservation and grazing projects.
Extension specialists and educators from Iowa State, Illinois and Wisconsin will lead breakout sessions addressing fitness for transport, pasture management, hairy heel warts, and several other topics.
