| Impact Report | The North Eastern NM Livestock Association meets annually in Harding County. It is made up of about 5 counties and dues go to support a scholarship for a graduation senior in the area. Harding once again hosted the meeting and extension provided a program and setup the meeting. Over 50 producers showed up for the meeting which, this year was held in conjunction with a NE NM Cattle Growers meeting. Attendence was excellent. Producers gained insight into the meat industry and learned about beef tenderness and quality and also enjoyed sampling different beef products. They also learned about carbon credits, livestock disease issues Ag emergency management, and were updated on current policies or legislative agendas affecting cattle producers. As a result, producers left the meeting knowing 75% more about the subject matter and can use the material presented to improve management of operations. |
