Beef workshop in Belgrave
With feed costs being the
highest cost of putting a pound of
gain on a beef animal, a properly
balanced and cost effective ration
is very important.
In order to provide an insight
into beef rations and to assist beef
producers in developing a ration, a
beef ration workshop will be held at
the Belgrave W.I. Hall.
This workshop will commence at
1:30 p.m. on Monday, November
30. The afternoon program will
consist of discussions on the basics
of nutrition, concluding with build
ing sample rations. Topics of
discussion will include protein,
energy, mineral, vitamins, and
implants as they pertain to beef
rations. A second day will be held
on Monday, December 14 where
producers will be able to work with
OMAF staff to develop a beef
ration on the computer for their
operation. Appointments for the
second day will be set up on the
30th.
Pre-registration is required by
Friday, November 27by calling the
Clinton O.M. A.F. office at 482-
