Production efficiency in herd aim of NW Oklahoma Cattle Conference

“Ranch Efficiency: Doing What Makes Sense” is the theme for the Northwest Oklahoma Cattle Conference, which will be Nov. 9 in Enid.

The multispeaker conference will be 4-8 p.m. Nov. 9 at the Garfield County Oklahoma State University Extension Center, 316 E. Oxford. A meal will be provided at 6 p.m.

The conference will show beef producers how to achieve production efficiency with little or no extra expense. Managing things like mature cow size and fully utilizing heterosis for extra gain and vigor in the calf crop are two of the topics to be addressed.

David Lalman, OSU beef nutritionist, will share information about “optimum mature size” of a working cowherd and the impact cow size has on forage and supplemental feed costs. To complement Dr. Lalman’s discussion, Dan Stein, OSU beef cattle specialist, will point out things to consider when matching herd bulls to a cowherd to optimize heterosis in the resulting calf crop.

Greg Highfill, northwest area livestock specialist, will present the latest information available to cattle producers as they consider capturing the most value for the calves they market.

Rounding out the program, Lalman will discuss the most cost-effective winter feeding strategies for cow/calf producers.

In addition to Oklahoma Cooperative Extension Ser-vice, other meeting and meal sponsors are Stillwater Mill-ing Co., Novartis Animal Health and Northwest Cattle-man’s Association. Reserva-tions should be made to Garfield County OSU Exten-sion Center at 237-1228 prior to the meeting so adequate meal preparation can be made.

Another meeting is scheduled for 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Nov. 9 at the Logan County Fairgrounds. Information is available at http://oces.okst ate.edu/garfield or by logging onto BeefExtension.com., the premier Web site for Okla-homa Beef Producers.
