UI Extension, Oneida County offers resources on a variety of livestock issues and coordinates with other UI Extension offices for workshops and programs. Contact us at oneida@uidaho.edu or 208-766-2243 for information on current classes and programs.

Winter beef schools

Beef schools are developed using producer input. Our office offers these schools in November and February (most years). These are great educational opportunities that include topics ranging from nutrition and grazing to cattle handling and reproduction. Other livestock programs are conducted as industry issues and topics of concern arise. If you have any questions or have a topic you would like to learn about, please contact our office.  

Hay/soil testing

If you have questions about the quality of your hay, would like to test for nitrates, or would like to have a discussion about if your hay meets the nutritional needs of your animals, please feel free to reach out to our office. Our Extension educator is knowledgeable in these areas and would be happy to help.  

Our office also has the equipment for both hay and soil sample collection. If you wish to borrow our equipment or need help collecting a sample, please let us know.
