SNYDER – Cattle and wheat producers can update their knowledge of
stocker cattle and wheat management at an Aug. 30 workshop sponsored by
Texas Cooperative Extension.
"This educational event is designed specifically for stocker cattle and
wheat operators," said Greg Gruben, Extension agent in Scurry County. "We
have a good slate of speakers to address several interesting topics."
The program will run from 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Dunn Right BBQ in
Dunn. Participants can earn up to three continuing education units, Gruben
said.
The morning agenda will focus on animal health, wheat management and a
grain-price outlook. Country of origin labeling, ethanol and fuel prices,
and hay values will be discussed during the afternoon program.
Speakers include Extension specialists and agents, Texas Department of
Agriculture representatives, and animal health industry representatives.
"There is no fee to attend, but we would like to get an RSVP from folks
by 5 p.m. Aug. 27 to help plan the noon meal," Gruben said. "This workshop
is a joint effort of Extension offices in Scurry, Borden, Dawson, Garza,
Lynn and Mitchell counties."
