Water is an important yet often overlooked nutrient for cattle.
UT Extension personnel will illustrate different watering systems for cattle. Following a barbeque lunch, a panel discussion will explore how buyers evaluate and price feeder calves. The panel will entertain questions on how producers can better prepare calves for market. The panel will also perform on-site evaluations of 12 calves. Panelists will comment on the suitability of the calves for market and why one calf may be valued more than another.
