Abstract
\r\n A five session Ohio Beef School was conducted in February and March to address issues for beef producers in Ohio and across the country. Topics included reproduction, mineral nutrition, third trimester nutrition, optimizing animal performance, marketing and animal welfare audits. Webex based technology was utilized to reach over 200 participants at 15 locations across the state and two out-of-state locations. Materials presented were sent to each host location prior to meetings so that all attendees received hard copies. Throughout the evening producers had the opportunity to ask questions to presenters. After some technical issues the first night, the subsequent programs were well received. This was the first virtual educational program for 45% and 93% said they would recommend this school to others. Overall level of knowledge increased for a 2.3 to a 3.4 (five point Likert type scale). Participants estimate that due to this program, they will save on average $34/head.
