Beef 706 at The Luling
Foundation
Bastrop | Caldwell | Gonzales |
Guadalupe
The Texas Beef Council, Texas A&M AgriLife Extension, and
Texas A&M University have teamed up to present a special Beef 706 program.
This three-part series of hands-on sessions focusing on beef quality management
and marketing opportunities is made available locally. This program is being
presented by the agents of Bastrop, Caldwell, Gonzales and Guadalupe counties,
but is open to all interested parties.
The checkoff-funded program is designed to help producers
maximize profits and have a better understanding of the production process
after their cattle enter the feedyard.
Session
one will be held February 7, 2017 at the Luling Foundation
Farm in Luling, Texas beginning at 5:30pm with dinner. Here
industry experts will discuss factors effecting feeder calves. Producers will
then choose a calf to monitor through the production system at the following
two sessions.
Session two will be held in July (exact date TBD) at
Graham Land and Cattle in Gonzales, Texas beginning at 1:30pm. During
this session producers will review their cattle while in the finishing process.
Session
three will be held August 14 & 15, 2017
at Texas A&M University in College Station, Texas. This 1.5–day
session will allow producers to participate in a hands–on exercise that takes
their chosen fed cattle from session one through the harvest, grading and
fabrication process.
Beef Quality Assurance Credits will be offered over the course
of the program to all interested participants.
The cost of the program will be $50.00/participant and can
be paid at the first session on February 7th. This cost is refundable based on
full participation in the program.
