Thanks to a grant from the Kentucky Cattlemen’s Association, KyAEC is offering a 3-hour beef education workshop at the Blue Grass Stockyards in Lexington. This workshop is open to any Kentucky teacher, volunteer educator, farmer, or agribusiness professional who would like to receive lesson ideas and resources related to beef cattle, one of Kentucky’s primary livestock species.
Additional agriculture literacy resources and programs will be presented after lunch.
Attendees will receive a package of beef education resources they can use in the classroom, at events, or on the farm. Additional KyAEC resources will be available at the workshop for purchase at a discounted price. A PD certificate will be provided to those who attend.
