PA Beef Producers Working Group- Ag Progress Day Tours

During this year’s Ag Progress Days, a free tour titled “Why Do We Finish Cattle On Corn-Based Diets?” will showcase the benefits and sustainability of steers fed grain-based diets for beef production. Participants will have the opportunity to observe cattle in a feedlot that have been fed grain-based diets and ask Penn State Extension experts, staff from the PA Beef Council, and Pennsylvania cattle buyers questions about nutrition, feed efficiency, and more.
