Beef production newsletter available by mail, online

Wednesday, September 3, 2008

A monthly beef cattle production newsletter written by Eldon Cole, University of Missouri Extension livestock specialist, is available to producers and others involved in supporting the beef industry in southwest Missouri.

The letter contains a list of coming events, research items related to beef and forage production and practical ideas from cattlemen. In addition, reports on events such as the Missouri Steer Feedout, Show-Me-Select program and performance tested bull sales are featured when timely.

"I try to keep the newsletter personal and easy to read," said Cole. "Over the years, the letter has proven to be a popular way to communicate to farmers." There is no charge for being on the mailing list. Those with Internet access may subscribe to the e-mailed version.

The names and addresses are only used by the extension center for educational mailings.

To receive the letter, call (417) 466-3102, e-mail Cole at colee@missouri.edu, or fill out the newsletter survey at http://extension.missouri.edu/lawrence/lawrencecosurvey.asp.
