Beef producer meeting planned for July 31

The CNY Dairy, Livestock and Field Crops Team is hosting a meeting for local beef producers.

  • When: Tuesday, July 31st, at 6:30pm
  • Where: Endless Trails Farm Guest House – 8856 Larkin Rd., Hubbardsville 13355
  • Cost: Free (beverages, hamburgers, hot dogs provided)
  • Registration Deadline: July 26

Ashley McFarland, CNYDLFC Livestock Specialist and Kevin Ganoe CNYDLFC Field Crops Specialist will be the speaker’s. Youth and adults are welcome to attend. Traveling around Central New York we see more and more beef operations developing. We are hoping to share ideas and improve the communications between these farmers. The current cattle market has been rising over the past few months, and the futures are looking to continue to increase. Some issues we hope to address are:

  • Where can we market this year’s calves?
  • What helped you get through the low prices?
  • How are you finishing your animals?

While there is no charge for attending, we ask that you pre-register so we can contact you in the event of cancellation or rescheduling. Registration due by July 26, 2018. Register by calling CCE Herkimer at (315) 866-7920, emailing herkimer@cornell.edu or online at cnydfc.cce.cornell.edu/events.php. Be sure to indicate how many will be attending.
