Winter Ranch Management Seminars

Strategies to mitigate environmental factors impacting reproduction is the theme of the 2019 Kansas State University Winter Ranch Management Seminar Series. Topics to be discussed are environmental factors affecting conception rates and the influence of forage quality and availability on beef cow nutrition during late gestation and into the breeding season. The meetings will also feature a popular ‘town-hall’ style question and answer session between Kansas’ cattle producers and extension specialists. The specialists will answer a wide range of questions on beef cattle issues including animal health, nutrition, management, genetics and reproduction.
