Schiefelbein holds Minnesota?Äôs first Mom?Äôs Day on the Farm Tour

Don and Jennifer Schiefelbein of Kimball held the first Minnesota?Äôs Mom?Äôs Day on the Farm Tour Saturday July 26. 

Funding for the event was provided by the beef checkoff; the event was coordinated by the American National CattleWomen, the Minnesota CattleWomen?Äôs Association, and the Minnesota Beef Council. Mothers from central Minnesota had the opportunity to tour Schiefelbein Farms to learn more about the beef industry.

Not only were the mothers able to listen to the speakers, they also had the opportunity to ask questions and engage in the discussion about beef production. Topics discussed included cattle nutrition and health, farm management, and cattle housing as well as food safety, the nutrition of beef, and various cooking techniques. During the tour, mothers got to see an auction building, a feedlot barn, and a cattle chute. At the end of the tour, the moms grilled and prepared steaks for lunch and learned about the many dishes beef can be utilized in. 

Guest speakers who participated in this event included Minnesota CattleWomen?Äôs Association Region Three Director Penny Zimmerman, hosts Don and
Jennifer Schiefelbein, Minnesota Beef Ambassador Shelby Schiefelbein, Dr. Carl Larson from the Watkins Vet Clinic, University of Minnesota Beef Extension Specialist Nicole Kenny Rambo, Form-a-Feed Farm Nutritionist Dan Kohls, Senior Program Manager for the American National CattleWomen Sherry Hill, and Minnesota Beef Council Food and Nutrition Consultant Colleen Zenk.
