Alternative grains for feedlot cattle is just one of the many topics that will be covered in the Carrington Research Extension Center's (CREC) virtual beef production field day July 14.
The CREC is holding its annual beef field day virtually this year due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The prerecorded videos will go live July 14.
“We’re eager to use this new approach to still get the latest research and information to producers,” says Karl Hoppe, Extension livestock systems specialist at the center. “Plus, they’ll be able to watch all the videos on their own time and as many times as they want.”
