	12:30 PM 2008 Missouri Beef Tour
	The first beef operation on the tour is the Green Springs Bull Test station, owned and operated by Kent and Cathy Abele and son Cole. The bull tests allow breeders to use data in sire selection. Up to 11 breeds are included in any one 112-day session. Bulls in the test are mostly from Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Iowa, Illinois and Nebraska. The second beef operation, near Bronaugh, Mo., is at the Bushwhacker Conservation Area, where Wes Spinks will show where 169 steers were backgrounded on native warm-season prairie pastures using patch-burn grazing. MDC biologists Norman Murray and Brent Jamison work with Spinks in carrying out the patch burns and backgrounding process. At the third stop, Nathan Crabtree has 225 fall-calving cows in the family�s farming operation near Liberal, Mo. Seventy-five head are registered Angus cows that are bred by artificial insemination. He retains 90 percent of the heifers to increase herd size. At the last farm, Kyle Kirby, brother Scott, father J.D. and one employee make up the work force. Incoming cattle are vaccinated with a four-way shot upon arrival at the Kirby farm and are then put on high-roughage diets and clear water. They are revaccinated in two to three weeks and then turned on pasture. Tour begins at Green Spring Bull Test Station and ends at Liberal High School
