K-State Research And Extension Hosting Cattle Risk Management In February

K-State Research and Extension agents from Lyon and Greenwood Counties and the Flint Hills Extension District – Chase and Morris Counties, will be hosting an agricultural risk management session with a focus on cattle at 10 a.m. on Feb. 14. The Anderson Building on the Lyon County Fairgrounds will be the site for this Valentine’s Day gathering.

Managing risk in the cattle business has always been important. However, considering the currently high prices, the potential exposure to a loss is amplified. Markets can take a very sudden downturn and end up with disastrous consequences for the cattle owner.
