UW Extension will be hosting a series of Meat Animal Project WisLine teleconferences this winter for Fair Board staff, meat animal project superintendents and project volunteers who help create policy and structure to county livestock projects. These WisLines are held in county extension offices throughout the state of Wisconsin and run from 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. The topics and dates are:
Jan. 13 - Carcass shows, Ultrasound and alternatives to strengthen county livestock projects. This session will review options for counties to educate exhibitors and parents on how to measure value of meat animal projects. This will assist counties on finding the best fit for their situation.
