Aloha. Today's episode is sponsored by the Livestock Extension Group out of the University of Hawaii Manoa College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resilience and the Center for Egg Profitability out of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.

Speaker 3:

Aloha, welcome to the Livestock Bala'au, a podcast aimed to provide educational support, information, guidance and outreach to our livestock stakeholders in Hawaii and the rest of the US. We are your hosts, mele Oshiro and Shannon Sand, and today we're going to talk a little bit about what's going on this month in this mini episode. So, as usual, we'll start with some Hawaii program updates. We do have a workshop we want to share. That's going to happen in April it's on April 12th this year and it will be having a calving management and grazing management field workshop at the Maloney Research Station in Kamuela on the Big Island. So this is a event that we're putting on through one of the grants that we got to look at beef cattle management and our sort of first workshop that we're kind of conducting through this grant.

Speaker 3:

So, looking forward to it, it's going to be pretty much all day. We haven't determined the exact times for everything, but it will be an all-day workshop that we're doing, a field workshop, so we're going to be outside. There's not going to be a classroom thing. We will have some information and sort of you know um that we'll have printed out, but we're not going to be sitting down in front of a PowerPoint presentation which is going to be out in the field getting some hands on and, um, you know, looking at things that way. So there'll be sort of two sections. We'll do calving management in the one half of the day and then grazing management with Dr Mark Thorne in the second half of the workshop, and myself and Dr Caleb Reichart will be doing the calving management section.

Speaker 3:

So, yeah, I'm kind of very excited. I'm looking forward to this, um, as well as some students with us for this one too. So, um, yeah, look forward to that. We'll have a registration will be required, um, we're don't know if there's going to be a fee. As as of right now, we don't have a fee for this workshop, um, but it will be happening April 12th, um, so if you want more information or make sure you get those uh registrations for this, please send me an email. It will be posted on our eventbrite, um, so if you search me up on eventbrite, you'll find my page and you can follow. So when things are posted you'll get the notification. So, yeah, so april 12th calving management and grazing management field workshop at may alani on the Big Island.
