Kansas

All livestock producers are invited to attend a free educational meeting at Paola Livestock Auction, Inc. on November 8. The first part of the meeting will be focused around the National Animal Identification System--where are we and where are we going. This part of the program is pertinent for all species of livestock. The second half of the meeting will focus on beef cattle--health issues and winter nutrition concerns.

They will show products that are available to producers to help with management of their livestock.
