While minerals are a small component of beef cow diets, they are critical for a variety of functions in the body, says Janna Block, North Dakota State University (NDSU) Extension livestock systems specialist based at the NDSU Hettinger Research Extension Center.
To help producers better understand mineral nutrition, NDSU and South Dakota State University (SDSU) Extension have teamed up to host two Beef Cattle Mineral Nutrition field days.
The first field day will be held on June 9, at the NDSU Central Grasslands Research Extension Center near Streeter, North Dakota, and the second field day will be held on June 10, at the SDSU Cottonwood Field Station near Philip, South Dakota. Participants do not need to attend both field days, as the same program will be provided each day.
Each field day will begin at 10 a.m. and conclude by 5 p.m. local time. Lunch will be provided.
Field day sponsors include SDSU Extension, NDSU Extension, Micronutrients, Multi-Min 90 and Zinpro.
Registration is $30 per person.
To register, visit https://extension.sdstate.edu/.../beef-cattle-mineral.... Select the location you plan to attend when registering. Registration closes on June 8 for the NDSU location and June 9 for the SDSU location.
This field day is open to anyone with an interest in beef cattle mineral nutrition. For more information about the SDSU field day, contact Adele Harty at adele.harty@sdstate.edu, and for information about the NDSU field day, contact Janna Block at janna.block@ndsu.edu.
