Breeding Season Management

The University of Florida/IFAS Extension is offering an educational seminar series titled "Managing Cattle Enterprises for Success," specifically designed for small cattle ranchers. The goal of the series is to provide participants with practical knowledge of cattle management practices that can be easily applied to their operations.

Series Structure: The series consists of three seminars, each covering a different essential topic for successful cattle enterprise management. Each season, the three topics will be offered in different counties:

Fall 2024 Schedule:

• Hillsborough County (September 5): Topic 1 - Planning Your Cattle Management Calendar

• Polk County (October 24): Topic 2 - Strategizing Cow Nutrition

• Pasco County (November 7): Topic 3 - Breeding Season Management

Spring 2025 Schedule: The topics will rotate among the counties:

• Polk County: Topic 1 - Planning Your Cattle Management Calendar

• Pasco County: Topic 2 - Topic 2 - Strategizing Cow Nutrition

• Hillsborough County: Topic 3 - Breeding Season Management

Summer 2025 Schedule: The rotation continues:

• Pasco County: Topic 1 - Planning Your Cattle Management Calendar

• Hillsborough County: Topic 2 - Topic 2 - Strategizing Cow Nutrition

• Polk County: Topic 3 - Breeding Season Management

This rotational approach ensures that participants across Polk, Pasco, and Hillsborough counties have the opportunity to attend all three seminars each season, providing comprehensive coverage of key topics essential for managing successful cattle enterprises.
