Washington State University Extension and Department of Animal Sciences are excited to announce the WSU BEEF, LAMB, Pork and Poultry 100 short-courses will be held in South Eastern Washington. The BEEF and PORK 100 course will be offered on January 23, 2014 and the LAMB 100 and POULTRY 100 courses will be offered on January 24, 2014 at WSU Walla Walla County Extension Office in Walla Walla, WA.
The WSU BEEF, LAMB, PORK and POULTRY 100 short courses are designed for beginning farmers, but are also excellent energizers for experienced food animal producers to expand opportunities and sustainability of their current livestock operation. The 100 programs have been developed to address needs identified at successful BEEF and LAMB 300/200 programs. The one-day species specific program will help livestock producers increase their knowledge on how to produce safe, high quality food animals profitably; while producing the animals in an environmentally and animal care conscious manner. The short courses will address opportunities and issues to enhance the production, safety and quality of beef, lamb pork and poultry production from the farm to the plate. These programs will increase one's understanding of food animal production, quality and marketing; enabling participants to make informed decisions to improve profitability, quality, and wholesomeness of the food animals they are producing.
The registration fee for WSU BEEF, LAMB, PORK, or POULTRY 100 is $45 per participant, which covers lunch and resource material. Registration for individuals or farms that would like to attend two classes, same species or different, is $80. Registration after January 9th, will increase to $75 per person per class.
