The focus of the Beef Conference this year will be: Investing in the Future of Your Herd. The speakers will be sharing ideas to guide ranchers on investments worth consideration during the good years, to prepare for leaner times in the future. Topics will include improving pasture management, pasture weed control, supplement feeding systems, herd performance, financial management, and herd reproduction.
The Beef Conference will also feature a Trade Show of businesses and agencies that offer goods and services to cattle producers in the region. Time will be provided to visit with the company representatives to learn about products and services offered for beef cattle operations.
