Cattle producers from Ohio, Indiana, and West Virginia gathered at The Ohio State University on October 7 and 8 to participate in the Cattlemen’s Boot Camp program. This program was a joint effort of the American Angus Association, Ohio State University Extension, and The Ohio State University Animal Science Department. Thirty-six registrants participated in the event.
The program agenda focused on a variety of topics including nutrition, industry communications, reproduction, genetics, animal handling, selection tools, and the end product. These topics were covered through lecture presentations and hands-on demonstrations. Attendees heard speakers from The Ohio State University Animal Science Department, Ohio State University Extension, The Ohio Cattlemen’s Association, and the American Angus Association.
Participants in the Cattlemen’s Boot Camp program evaluated the program very positively. These participants represented a cross-section of the beef industry including seedstock producers, commercial cow-calf producers, feedlot operators, and allied industry.
