The 2023 North Dakota Angus University Feed-out program at the North Dakota State University Carrington Research Extension Center (CREC) will begin in June.
For the 12th consecutive year, the North Dakota Angus Association is partnering with the Carrington Extension center to sponsor the North Dakota Angus University Feed-out Program. Cattle producers from across the state will have the opportunity to retain ownership of their cattle and receive performance and carcass data of the animals.
Colin Tobin, animal scientist at the CREC since September 2021, will be heading up this year’s program. Originally from a cattle ranch in central South Dakota, Tobin completed his bachelor’s
in agriculture and master’s in plant science at South Dakota State University and Ph.D. in range science at New Mexico State University in 2020.
While at NMSU, Tobin utilized GPS and accelerometer technologies to monitor behavior changes due to the onset of disease, mold and mycotoxin intake, and parturition, failed water systems and forage utilization for cattle on rangeland.
