The 53rd Annual Grey-Bruce Farmers' Week continues in Elmwood with Beef Day.
Beef Day is a producer led annual event, targeted to the continuum of Beef Cattle producers that make up the Beef Industry – Cow-Calf Operations, Backgrounding and Feed Lot/Finishing producers.
Beef Day will provide an opportunity for beef producers to meet and be educated on the latest technology; discuss pertinent marketing issues; learn about health/nutrition topics, and much more; and interact and exchange ideas with fellow beef farmers.
The feature speaker, Dr. Karen Schwartzkopf-Genswein, will summarize the findings of over 10 years of cattle transport research with focus on methods of stress assessment and findings regarding the effects of transport duration, environmental conditions, animal type, trailer design and rest stops on animal outcomes.
Her presentation is at 11:05 a.m. Monday.
