Bucks delivered to Oklahoma forage test

After the incoming bucks were processed, they were put into a

holding pen before being moved into their grazing paddocks. 

Each buck was examined as it was unloaded. Each received 

a CD&T vaccination, deworming, fecal test

and FAMACHA score.

 

On June 21 I delivered six bucks to the Kerr Center in Poteau, Okla., for the 2012 Oklahoma forage test.  There were a total of 57 bucks from 14 breeders in seven states consigned. States represented include  Kansas, Oklahoma, Illinois, Missouri, Texas, Mississippi and Arkansas. Breeds included Boer, Kiko, Savanna and crosses.

The bucks will get a warm-up period until July 1 to get acclimated to the climate and the forage. The test period will be July 2-Sept. 19. The field day and awards ceremony will be Saturday, Sept. 22.
