Hailed as the most extensive educational project planned for the Tennessee cattle industry, the Master Beef Producer program is designed to help individual producers improve their profitability and competitiveness. The MBP program focuses on 12 issues facing the beef industry. These include managing and planning for success, marketing, genetics, carcass traits, feeding and managing the cow herd, forage production, reproduction, herd health, cattle handling and behavior, environmental concerns and food safety. The project is part of the overall effort of the Tennessee Beef Cattle Improvement Initiative and enables participants to apply for 50% cost-share through the Tennessee Ag Enhancement program. Participants will receive a certificate recognizing their training and a Master Beef Producer cap. They will also earn a sign to display on their farm. A registration fee of $75 will cover the cost of the course materials, including a beef production reference manual, farm sign, and hat. Interested producers should contact the Extension office at
