UofA Extension Center in Hope to host Beef & Forages Field Day

HOPE – The University of Arkansas Southwest Research & Extension Center in Hope will host a Beef & Forages Field Day on Friday, Oct. 28. Area cattle producers are invited to come by between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. on Oct. 28 for a beef cattle and forages field day featuring an overview of the research and programs performed through the extension center. Center Director Daniel Rivera will host the event.

Shane Gadberry, cattle nutritionist and director of the UofA Livestock and Forestry Research Station, will deliver information to help producers better manage their herd’s nutritional needs as drought and fertilizer cost has impacted hay quality. Tours of the facility and center pastures will also be offered to help share management strategies in practice.
