Aurora County beef ultrasound clinic Dec. 20
BROOKINGS, S.D. - The Aurora County beef ultrasound clinic will be held Dec. 20, at the Aurora County Ag Building in Plankinton, S.D.
“With numerous bull sales on the horizon, this will be an opportunity for area ranchers and beef producers to gain skills and knowledge pertaining to beef ultrasound,” Brule County Extension livestock educator Rod Geppert said.
Registration is at 10:30 a.m. with coffee and rolls.
An ultrasound demonstration will take place at 11 a.m. Jean James and Kama Bruns of Northwest Imaging will scan a group of bulls so that producers can see how ultrasound works and how the data is collected.
At noon there will be a Certified Angus roast beef lunch and bull session. Cost of the meal is $7.
SDSU Extension livestock educator Rod Geppert will present information on bull selection.
At 1 p.m., a session will focus on understanding ultrasound data, EPDs and how the data differ within a group of bulls or from herd to herd. Understanding these numbers can help producers improve the quality of cattle produced, Geppert said.
For more information and to pre-register, contact the Aurora County Extension office at (605) 942-7544 or the Brule County Extension office at (605) 234-4431.
