Happy Fall!  I hope this newsletter finds you doing well.  The Clinton, Cumberland, Russell and Wayne Co. Extension Offices are partnering to host a Master Cattleman Series in early 2024.  The Master Cattleman series will cover a range of educational topics, such as, forages, cattle handling, genetics, reproduction, nutrition, herd health and marketing.  Beef cattle producers interested in learning more about the above listed topics should consider participating in the series.  Please call the Clinton County Extension Office to reserve your spot.  Dates—Jan 29th, Feb 5th, 12th, 19th, 26th and March 4th.

As winter hay feeding time draws near as a reminder it’s a good idea to have your stored forages tested.  Knowing the    nutrient quality and quantity  of your stored  forages will allow you to select which group of cattle to feed a particular lot of hay and if the cattle will need supplemental feed to prevent negative energy balance.  If you are interested in having your forages tested please call the Extension office for more information.  

The Clinton/Cumberland Cattlemen’s Association will meet on December 7th at 6pm in Burkesville, the speaker for the evening will be Dr. Gordon Jones retired Animal Science Professor at WKU.  Dr. Jones will be discussing the use of crossbreeding to improve the profitability of commercial cow/calf operations, a meal will be provided please call the Extension Office if you are planning to attend.
