Are you thinking about raising beef for yourself or your family? Do you already have cattle, but want to brush up on some of the basics? Maybe you're looking to test the waters for a new business venture? Join us for this three-part series on the ins and outs of what it takes to raise beef cattle successfully in New Hampshire. We’ll start with the basics and end with more in-depth topics you can apply to your herd immediately, from regulations and pasture management to health and nutrition. Each session will cover something different, so be sure to attend all three!
