The 2026 Southeast Master Cattlemen’s Program was very successful, there were nearly 50 participants who received information once a week for 8 weeks on several different topics from UGA Beef Specialists. We had several sponsors for this program who provided meals at each meeting for those in attendance. Sponsors included Miles Tractor Company, Thomspon’s Farm Supply, Appling Motors, Circle F Farms, Ag South Insurance, Pineywoods Cattlemens’s Association, and Appling County Young Farmers. UGA Extension Offers this Program twice a year in different areas of the state her is the link to the master cattlemen program website… https://beef.caes.uga.edu/programs/educational/master-cattleman/
