The Desha/Drew County Cattlemen’s Association met on Thursday September, 18 at the UAM Agriculture Building. The association put on a steak supper and hosted a large crowd. President Jason Cater blessed the meal, Ag Heritage cooked the steaks and provided knives, The ladies brought desserts, and River Valley Tractor brought the drinks. Joe Western and Matt Hayward with Joplin Regional Stockyards came to talk with producers. They gave market updates and outlooks for the next couple of years. The guys also gave advice on marketing claves. It was recommended to wean calves for at least 45 days before shipping. Additionally calves should be vaccinated, castrated, and dehorned. It was also explained to producers that doing these things would help the calves to bring more money. Following the talk was a question and answer session. The meeting was then adjourned by President Jason Cater.
