Agent Responsibilities

Agents will be responsible for the following:

•   Provide all meals, transportation, and housing, and animals in the case of a Reproduction Lab or a hands-on day.

• Secure the locations for all sessions except for the End Product.

• Collect the registration fee from each participant and provide Lori Porter with a receipt of all paid participants before the first session.

• Have producers attend 8 of the 10 sessions in order to graduate as a Master Cattleman.

• Since the Master Cattleman Program has a significant amount of classroom instruction, you must contact the chairperson if your group would like to have an alternative or additional (to the classroom instruction) hands-on session or alter the curriculum in anyway.

•  Contact participants about meeting dates.

•  If the group chooses to use participants’ hay samples for the hay quality section, a representative of the group needs to gather the hay samples from participants and arrange to have the samples tested by the Kentucky Department of Agriculture Hay Testing Program (1-800-248-4628) at least 10-14 days prior to the Forages Session. Additionally, the hays and the results of the hay test should be provided for visual appraisal at the hay quality section.
