| Welcome
Welcome to the
4-State Backgrounding Extension and Outreach Project Web Site. Cow-calf
production is the major agricultural business in Montana, Wyoming,
South Dakota, and North Dakota. Backgrounding calves may be one
way to add value, diversify operations, and improve marketing options
for cow calf producers in the four-state area. This web site compiles
existing information related to backgrounding which is applicable
to the four-state region. We hope you find this web site interesting
and useful. Learn more...
