North Dakota State University’s Carrington Research Extension Center hosted its annual Feedlot School on Wednesday and Thursday. The event is designed for cattle producers, feeders, backgrounders, feed industry professionals, animal healthcare suppliers, and anyone interested in feedlot production. “We’ve been doing it over 30 years now,” said Karl Hoppe, NDSU Extension livestock systems specialist. “We have had people from North Dakota, Minnesota, Alberta, Wyoming, South Dakota, and Montana. We share a lot of information on feeding cattle to finish, as well as backgrounding. It includes things all the way from nutrition to budgeting, to marketing, to meat quality, to beef quality assurance, to health.”
