Head to Toyota Building to Enjoy a Beef Sundae
New York Ag Connection - 02/26/2020

You're likely to visit New York Farm Show in Syracuse to see the latest and greatest equipment, but the Beef Area in the Toyota Building is an area you don't want to miss.

Try your beef knowledge on the large interactive display and check out the two new educational displays.

And don't forget to enjoy a delicious hot beef sundae served up daily by the New York Beef Producers and Junior Beef Producers. They will be available daily from 10:45 a.m. until sold out.

11:15 a.m.: "An Introduction to BQAT and Why Anyone Hauling Cattle Should Be Certified," by Mike Baker, Cornell beef specialist.

Noon: "Checklist for Marketing Your Calves," by Phil Trowbridge of Trowbridge Angus.

12:45 p.m.: "Alternative Proteins in the Marketplace," by Jean O'Toole of the New York Beef Council.

1:30 p.m.: "Beef Knowledge Covering All Areas: How Much Do You Really Know?" by NYBPA members.

A Beef Quality Assurance Transportation (BQAT) seminar will be held Feb. 29 from 9 a.m.-11:30 a.m. For more information on the training, contact Mike Baker, beef specialist, at 607-255-5923 or mjb28@cornell.edu.
