NYBPA Southern Region Beef Producer’s Fall Meeting
Wednesday, November 6th, 2013
Greenside Restaurant at the Bath Country Club, 330 May St., Bath,
Featuring an interactive an educational presentation by Mr. Don Burkard, independent Nutritionist entitled:
“Do You Know What is Going on Inside that bale of Hay?”
Mr. Burkard is an experienced and innovative nutritional consultant who specializes in helping producers understand the nutritional needs of cattle. Although he specializes in Dairy Production, he has created a unique and energizing presentation for the beef producer. We will be using actual feed samples from beef producers in the Southern Tier area (dry hay, grass baleage, and corn silage), to determine if these feeds are adequate for beef cattle in the growing, the gestation, and the lactation periods of the average beef cattle herd. Additionally, we will be analyzing how the nutrient requirements change when the weather gets colder, and when the mud gets deeper. This presentation will be showing the importance of having your forage tested in order to know if you are meeting the nutritional needs of your beef cattle. This promises to be a great workshop filled with essential nutritional tips and strategies as we prepare for the onset of the winter feeding period in New York.
