Cattle producers and others interested in quality beef production and management are invited to take a walk down Cattle Lane...or, more specifically, they are invited to participate in a free online education opportunity sponsored by University of Tennessee Extension and the UT Department of Animal Science.
Dr. Clyde Lane, a professor of animal science and UT Extension beef cattle specialist, has developed a video library and accompanying fact sheets that are now available online. The site, which is part of the UT Beef Extension program, plays off the name of its developer. Called the Tennessee Cattle Lane, it features a series of several videos that take approximately three minutes each to view. Topics include hay feeding and storage, culling animals based on disposition, forage testing, beef quality assurance, breeding soundness examinations of bulls, fly control, and selecting handling equipment, among others. The fact sheets that accompany the video may be printed for free for educational purposes.
"UT Extension developed the 'Tennessee Cattle Lane' site to make it convenient for producers to get the answers they need about their cattle operations and management questions," said the not-so-shy star of the video vignettes. "Answers to many common production problems are available 24/7 to producers. Plus, they can easily e-mail additional questions to me or any of the other UT Extension beef professionals," said Lane.
