Today the #CollaborativeAdaptiveManagement Stakeholders Group for the @UNL Barta Brothers Ranch are meeting to develop research plans for the 2022 growing season. This group represents ranchers, researchers, and industry members. @UNLBeef

@AmyTimmerman2 pushed our local Beef Educators to make #PestEdCertification more relevant to ranchers in the Sandhills. @beef_educator @RyanBenjamin and I are contributing today by discussing range monitoring, cow nutrition, and most recent cow/calf research from UNL. @UNLBeef

Checked on some Fall pairs and came upon this daycare situation and some sounds of the Sandhills, #wind. #fallcalving #beefcattle #nebraskasandhills

It’s easy to be exciting during calving. #fallcalving #nebraskasandhills #beefcattle

Day 2 of @UNL_Grassland #NebraskaGrazingConference working through the topics of Grazing Systems and Risk Management. Risk Management is a difficult topic for this year because honestly, which challenge should you approach it from first? @UNLBeef

[BKR Beef @BkrBeef]

Today, the @UNL_Grassland 2021 Nebraska Grazing Conference is tackling the topics of Conservation, Value of Pollinators in Grasslands, Managing Wet Meadows, and Grassland Carbon Credits. @UNLBeef #negrazingconference #grazingsystems

She must have cattle drinking off the same well. I can relate.

Are you prepared for drought? Conditions are hinting at drought this summer. Do you have a plan? https://t.co/C3rZhYn8Ht

Everyone does #HeiferDevelopment differently. What #nutrition approach does your operation prefer to take with their incoming genetics? Grain Mix? TMR? Certain feedstuffs you prefer/avoid?

[BKR Beef @BkrBeef]

If you put it in slow-mo does it make the wind and snow less obvious IRL? North Central Nebraska/Bassett area currently 2-4 inches of snow depending on which drift you try to use to estimate. #WinterStorm #snow #cattle

We love to see it. #yearlings #backgrounding #UNLBeefExt #sandhillscattle

How does your operation manage open cows? @UNLBeef

[BKR Beef @BkrBeef]

Followed the feed truck around this morning to look at delivered rations and check in on how the cull cows were shaping up. Management of cull cows is a direct way to influence 10-20% of ranch income. @UNLBeef

[BKR Beef @BkrBeef]

Checked on some Fall calvers this past weekend to ensure proper nutrition ~30 prior to calving and started to notice some "baby bumps". How are your Fall breds shaping up? @UNLBeef #NebraskaBeef #FallCalving
