Interactive Beef Nutrition Series Continues

The second installment in the Fall Beef Nutrition Series is set for Tuesday, Aug. 28. Sponsored by the Alabama Cooperative Extension System and the Gulf Coast Beef Cattle Educational Alliance, the series is offered monthly and will continue through November.

Beef cattle producers in Alabama, Florida, Louisiana and Mississippi can learn the latest in beef nutrition through this interactive video short course. It is open to any producer interested in learning more about beef nutrition. Sessions will run from 6:45 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. CDT.

Interactive video allows presenters to reach many geographic locations at once. However, questions can be asked at any time during the presentations, and all other participants will hear the question and the response. Moderators will be present at each location throughout Alabama to answer additional questions.

More than 15 sites across the state will host the program.

The Aug. 28 session will focus on winter pasture planning. Dr. Don Ball, an Extension forage agronomist and Auburn University agronomy professor, will be joined by Dr. Monte Rouquette, a forage agronomist at Texas A&M University.

The program cost is $15 per session.
