Cow Calf Boot Camp is coming up this spring! This yearly “camp” is a unique OSU Extension program that is an all-encompassing three-day educational opportunity for cow calf producers. This one-of-a-kind program is designed for both beginner and experienced producers who are interested in increasing their level of management and their bottom line. These three days are packed full of hands-on information dealing with nutrition, health, forage management, and economics of cow calf production taught by OSU Extension Educators and Specialists. At the camp, participants can expect to work “hands on” with live cattle, solve management problems in small groups, visit local operations, and have ample opportunity for questions and discussion. Since 2011, 14 camps have been held and over 560 people have graduated.
This year’s Cow Calf Boot camp will be hosted at the Kingfisher County Fairgrounds in Kingfisher, Oklahoma April 8th-10th. Registration is $150 and includes educational instruction, 5 meals, and an OSU Beef Cattle Manual. If you are interested, do not delay! Registration is being handled through the Garfield County Extension Office.
