SOUTH CENTRAL TEXAS COW-CALF CLINIC FRIDAY AT WASHINGTON CO. FAIRGROUNDS
The 48th Annual South Central Texas Cow-Calf Clinic and Trade Show gets underway today (Friday) at the Washington County Fairgrounds.
Registration begins at 7:30 a.m. this morning, with the program starting at 8 a.m. This year’s clinic will focus on emerging issues for cattle producers, from landowner liability and changes in animal identification requirements, to heifer development and grazing management.
The clinic features a day full of presentations, live cattle demonstrations, and the chance for participants to compete in contests testing their knowledge and skills. There will also be time to visit with tradeshow vendors and network with producers and speakers.
One lucky attendee will win a commercial heifer purchased at the Washington County Fair. This is the sixth year in a row the Washington County Beef and Forage Committee and Texas Farm Credit have partnered to offer this giveaway.
There will also be a scholarship drawing, with proceeds benefitting the youth in all sponsoring counties and the Cow-Calf Clinic Youth Program.
KWHI will have live reports from the Cow-Calf Clinic throughout the morning.
