Beef pasture walk Thursday in Canton

Posted

CANTON -- The Cornell Cooperative Extension NNY Regional Livestock Team will present Beef Pasture Walk Thursday, Aug. 6, at 6:30 p.m.

The pasture walk program includes discussions of establishing a feeder calf pool and grading feeder calves and a review of best practices for vaccination programs. Shawn and Mercy Spellacy, 275 County Route 29, will host a tour of their beef operation.

They run 30 to 40 cows on some reclaimed forestland and also graze the animals in wooded areas.

They have recently added a stream crossing and water lines to distant pastures.

Their breeding program includes an Angus bull.
