Annual Heart of Texas Cow-Calf Clinic readies for 29th editionTexas The Heart of Texas Cow-Calf Clinic, a long-standing educational program conducted by the Texas AgriLife Extension Service, will hold its 29th edition in Brownwood. The event will start with a catered meal at 6 p.m., June 12 at the Brown County Fairgrounds on U.S. Hwy. 377 South. "Even though you may not see as many cows here as you once did, beef cattle are still the number one agricultural enterprise in Brown and surrounding counties," said Scott Anderson, AgriLife Extension agent for Brown County. "Beef cattle production generates over $15 million annually here in Brown County alone," Anderson said. "This clinic is noted for practical up-to-date information for ranchers, and this year will be no exception." Speakers and their topics will include: Dr. Bob Hillman, executive director of the Texas Animal Health Commission, who will speak on issues that may impact area cattle producers; Dr. Ron Gill, AgriLife Extension livestock specialist at Stephenville, discussing new approaches to cattle management; and Dr. Allan McGinty, AgriLife Extension range specialist at San Angelo, who will tell producers where to find the best noxious plant control information. The clinic is sponsored by the AgriLife Extension offices in Brown, Callahan, Coleman, Comanche, Eastland, McCulloch, Mills and San Saba counties. The meal and program are free and open to the public, but participants must RSVP by June 10, so an accurate meal count can be made. For more information or to RSVP, contact the AgriLife Extension office in Brown County at 325-646-0386 or e-mail Anderson at sa-anderson@tamu.edu. 6/2/08 Date: 5/29/08
