🐮 Cattlemen’s Workshop Recap 🐮

We had an excellent turnout at the May Bradford-Union Cattlemen’s meeting! UF/IFAS beef specialist Dr. Todd Thrift demonstrated various calf-pulling techniques for producers, while Lizzie Whitehead, the UF/IFAS Bradford County Livestock Agent, showed attendees how to tail bleed cattle using “Lulu.” It was a wonderful evening filled with hands-on learning, fellowship, and valuable cattle management education!
