March 5 - Fairview, OK:
Enhancing Your Range and Herd
Speaker Hightlight #1: Kit Pharo

Kit Pharo and his family operate a highly successful ranch in the central high plains of eastern Colorado - short-grass country defined by limited and unpredictable rainfall. Through this environment, Kit identified the critical distinction between production per animal and production per acre, leading to three core management practices: rotational grazing, calving in sync with nature, and developing metabolically efficient, highly fertile cows.

Pharo Cattle Company entered the seedstock business in 1991 and now sells more than 1,000 bulls annually. Kit’s proven philosophies have demonstrated the ability to increase profit per acre across a wide range of production environments.

Early Registration closes Feb. 19th! Register today at www.farmforwardok.com or print/mail-in the attached registration sheet.

We look forward to seeing you March 5th!
