Beef producers' meeting and workshop Sept. 2 at Cooperative Extension in Canton

Posted

CANTON – Cornell Cooperative Extension of St. Lawrence County, 2043b State Highway 68, will host a beef meeting and workshop Wednesday, Sept. 2.

The meeting will start at Northern Limits Farm (Joe Eisele, Dr. Amy Thompson), 6900 CR 27, in Canton and finish with presentation and dinner at The Club Restaurant, 25 Court St., Canton.

The farm meeting starts at 5:30 p.m. with follow up at 6:30 p.m. for dinner and discussion.

This is the annual “End of Summer” meeting with Ed Primrose and Matt Slegle, partners in Conquest Cattle Feeders, a 1400 head capacity feedlot in Cato. Ed and Matt will discuss their operation; cattle herd health, and what they and the entire feedlot industry are looking for in cattle.

Additionally, they will be joined by Dr. Mike Baker, Cornell Beef Cattle Extension Specialist, who will be discussing this year’s push to bring a graded feeder sale to NY this fall. Dr. Baker and the St. Lawrence Co. Extension service will be finishing a 40 head implant study and will have results ready that day.

A roast beef buffet at The Club generously sponsored by Alltech and Canton Animal Clinic will follow.

RSVP by Friday, Aug. 28, for dinner at the Canton Animal Clinic at 386-2754.
