Northeast Ohio Beef Producers

Please make plans to join us Thursday evenings for the 2011 OSU Extension Beef Team’s Ohio Beef Cattle School.  This year’s school will utilize technology in the delivery of the sessions.  Speakers for the five-session Ohio Beef Cattle School for 2011 will be live at several locations but broadcasting using webex technology to the Portage County Extension Office.  Participants will see and follow the presenter’s PowerPoint slides and hear their voice and will have the opportunity to ask questions to the presenter from our host site while the presenter is physically present at only one site.  The sessions will begin promptly at 7:00 pm and last for approximately two and one-half hours.

Featured topics and presenters include:

· February 3~New Technologies and Strategies in Cow Reproduction - Dr. Mike Day, Ohio State University

· February 10~Mineral Nutrition for the Cowherd - Dr. Francis Fluharty, Ohio State University

· February 17~Third Trimester Nutrition and Fetal Programming - Dr. Francis Fluharty

· February 24~Optimizing Individual Animal Management and Performance - Dr. Francis Fluharty

· March 3~Realities of Cattle Marketing- Dan Frobose, Ohio State University Extension and Animal Welfare 
Audits - Dr. Henry Zerby, Ohio State University

Each one of these topics will impact the bottom line of any cattle operation. Some of the recent research being done with third trimester nutrition and what is being termed fetal programming is very interesting and has significant management implications for the cow herd.  Don’t miss this great opportunity!
