The series will focus on preparations for parasite and fly control, summer stressors on the cow herd, pasture and weed management, and practices to help producers extend the grazing season. Farmers, 4-H members, ag business professionals who work with farmers and those interested in beef cows are invited to attend.
Class sessions are:
May 10: Internal Parasite Control, focusing on strategies for pasture cattle with consideration for preventing resistance.
May 13: Summer Stressors Impacting Reproduction, discussing how heat, transportation, handling and change in nutrition can impact performance and reproduction in the beef herd.
May 17: Fly Control Strategies for Pasture, discussing different species of flies that impact cattle and the control methods available to manage them.

May 24: Pasture and Fence Line Weed Control, covering chemical, mechanical and cultural weed management practices to control persistent annual, biennial, perennial and woody species in pasture and fence line systems.
May 27: Extending the Grazing Season, covering practices such as grazing cover crops and crop residues, stockpiled forages, perennial grass, standing corn and millet, soil fertility recycling, forage utilization, perennial grass and considerations for water access and fencing within crop fields.
