Cattle Feeders Day Planned

A Lancaster County wintertime staple with a run time of 54 years, the annual Cattle Feeders Day is slated for Tuesday, Jan. 24, and will again bring information to area cattle producers.

Hosted at the Farm and Home Center, 1383 Arcadia Road, Lancaster, the event will include workshops such as "FDA Regulatory Changes for Antibiotic and Implant Usage" by Hayley Springer, assistant research professor with Penn State Extension, and Tara Felix, associate professor of animal science with Penn State Extension. Blaine Corners, a senior nutritionist at Beef Strategic Technical Services, will discuss "Managing High-Risk Cattle in the Feedlot," and Garren Bellis, a consultant with Compass Ag Solutions, will give a workshop titled "Livestock Risk Protection (LRP): Price Floors for Your Cattle." A regular at Cattle Feeders Day, Colin Woodall, CEO of the National Cattlemen's Beef Association, will return this year to present "America Has Spoken ... What the 2022 Election Means for Your Operation."

After industry updates, the lunch break will offer attendees the opportunity to visit the trade show and talk with the speakers. Also on Cattle Feeders Day, beef quality assurance recertification will be available.

The ticket price includes lunch. Space is limited. To purchase tickets, visit https://extension.psu.edu/cattle-feeders-day or call 877-345-0691. Walk-ins on the day of the event are also welcome. For further information on program content, contact Cheryl Fairbairn at 610-696-3500.
