The Cow-Calf Corner (CCC) newsletter completed 20 years of providing production and market information to producers earlier in 2023. In the spring of 2003, Dr. Glenn Selk started the CCC newsletter and shortly after asked me to begin contributing to the publication. My first article was in April 2003 and has grown to be regular weekly articles for the past 11 years leading to a total of 870 articles and counting.
Dr. Glenn Selk, Professor Emeritus and former Extension Beef Reproductive Specialist, ended his tenure with the CCC in 2021, after 18 years. Dr. Paul Beck, Professor and Extension Beef Cattle Nutrition Specialist became co-editor with me. Dr. Beck and Dr. Mark Johnson, Professor and Extension Beef Cattle Breeding Specialist are weekly contributors now, along with guest articles from a variety of other Oklahoma State University extension specialists.
The CCC is currently distributed directly to a list of over 1450 subscribers, including media organizations, state extension services, industry organizations and state cattlemen’s associations. CCC articles are widely distributed through rebroadcasts and redistribution of articles resulting in an incalculable national and international reach.
The Cow-Calf Corner newsletter continues its mission of providing timely and practical cattle production and market information into the 21st year of publication.
