2016 Ranchers Gathering

Well, how humbling what a year can do to a cattle producer.  Calf prices average $400 per head cheaper than the last couple of years and it’s definitely now great for moral.  That being said, it is still better than 5-6 years ago.  We all knew prices wouldn’t stay that high, so we are just going to have manage differently.  So mark your calendars for the 2016 Ranchers Gathering which has been set for Thursday, August 11, 2016 at the First Baptist Church in Decatur.  Doors will open around 5:30 p.m. for everyone to visit booths at the trade show.  The trade show will feature over 20 agriculture related businesses offering the newest in technology for beef cattle producers.  Dinner is set for 6:00 p.m.  The $10.00 registration fee covers the meal and makes you eligible for one of the many door prizes given away during the program.

Dr. Ted McCollum, Professor and Extension Beef Cattle Specialist will speak on “Hot Topics for Beef Cattle Producers for 2016”.
