BATESVILLE, Ark.  — Two events scheduled for April at the Livestock and Forestry Station in Batesville are being postponed. 

The April 3 bull soundness clinic and the April 21 “Focus on Heifers” field day are being postponed as a precaution to stem the spread of the COVID-19 virus. 

Don Hubbell, resident director of the station for the Arkansas Agricultural Experiment Station, said he’s hoping to reschedule the events in the fall of 2020.
