✨MEET THE TEAMS✨

From Arkansas, we have Cameron Roland, Braxton Strecker and Jessa Mix.

Cameron Roland is 16 years old and has been a member of Perry County 4H for 11 years. From a very young age, she developed a love for cattle and entered her first cattle show at age 5. The passion for cattle has also grown outside of the ring, with public speaking and participation in several 4-H contests. Cameron has passed down a love of showing to her younger siblings and enjoys farm life with her family.

Braxton Strecker is 15 years old and has been attending 4-H meetings with his older sibling since before age 5. His love for cows has taken root through working cattle with his grandpa, “Pops”. He plans to own and operate a cattle operation in the future. Braxton has been a dedicated 4-H member in many project areas and is described as someone always willing to help out. He has enjoyed this competition and being a backbone for his teammates.

Jessa Mix is 16 years old and has been in Perry County 4-H for 10 years. She is a first-generation showman working her way up to her first cow last year. Jessa has found working with animals to be a way to express herself and grow as an individual. Through public speaking in 4-H, she has found an interest in cattle nutrition and parasitic medicine. She is a role model for her younger siblings with her work ethic and dedication to them. She is grateful to 4-H for the opportunities it has given her to thrive in her future.

What a day for Agriculture and Community in Perry County. Showmanship for all species today at Perry County Fair Association, the Perry County Bred Cattle show sponsored by Perry County Cattlemen’s Association, Women’s Mechanics day hosted by the Union Valley Extension Homemakers Club and finished it up with Perry County Youth Livestock Foundation Scrambles. Big thanks to Perry County Farm Bureau for their support.

Showmen were able to show off their hard work and gain character.

Women and youth learned about maintenance on vehicles, how to drive a tractor and how to pull and back a gooseneck trailer.

Kids got the opportunity for free show projects for next year. Multiple laying hens, pigs, lambs and a calf.

Big thanks to everyone who volunteered and everyone who participated. Investing in youth today guarantees a brighter tomorrow.

Take sometime Friday Sept 18th at noon for the Robert Parish Memorial Premium Sale.

As Cattle Producers it is important to take some time and consider what stage of the cattle industry you fit in. Arkansas is a majority Cow-Calf state. As we wean calves or make management plans make sure to consider what stage of the cattle industry will receive your product or calf next.

Having a management plan for weaning and vaccinating calves that match what cattle buyers want can increase the value of your cattle.

It's getting close to the time of year when producers are weaning spring calves and need to make marketing decisions, as well as, on what vaccines to give calves.

Thursday, August 20th, 6pm at the Perry County Fair Grounds for the Perry County Cattlemen’s Association monthly meeting, I will be discussing recommended calf vaccines and buyer preferences producers should consider when vaccinating and weaning calves.

A stretch of high temperatures and continuous drought is really starting to be visual in summer pastures. I have heard some reports of producers having to put out some hay. Luckily overall it seems to have been a good start to hay production but if you find yourself running out of pasture and wondering what to do here are some things to consider.
I recommend monitoring pastures and hayfields regularly for Fall Armyworms, they have been found in Perry County and surrounding areas cooler days and moisture may increase activity. You can reach out to the Perry County Extension Office we have sweep nets to help producers monitor fields for insects.
Now is also the time to be planning for winter grazing. Select fields for stockpiling warm season grasses. Line up seed and time for overseeding a winter annual – ryegrass, wheat, oats, clover- on 25% of warm season pastures.
Perry County Producers have a new opportunity from the Perry County Conservation District to rent No-Till drills. For information or discussion please contact the Perry County Extension office at 501-889-2661
