Tue, 11 Sep 2012 17:28:20 CDT
Beef producers have an opportunity to fine tune their cattle handling skills with one of the nation's most sought after clinicians, Curt Pate.
Hosted by the Oklahoma Beef Council through the beef checkoff program, the Elk City Livestock Auction, and Simmons Ranch, the clinic will focus on low-stress cattle handling techniques with the intent of enhancing profitability by working with the natural instincts of cattle.
The clinic will be held at the Elk City Livestock Auction on Thursday, September 27, 2012 at 5:30 PM and a meal will be provided prior to the clinic.
"Curt is great at thinking outside the box and challenges other producers to do the same," said Jeff Jaronek, director of industry relations for the Oklahoma Beef Council. "He is able to use personal experiences and knows the economic benefits of handling cattle correctly."
Topics covered at the clinic include:
· Working cattle in corrals and alleyways.
· Sorting and processing techniques.
· Strategies for receiving cattle.
· Low-stress loading procedures.
· Proper use of equipment to assure low-stress handling.
"We encourage producers of all ages to come out and learn from one of the best stockmen around," Jaronek said. "Opportunities like this don't come around very often."
