Range Beef Cow Symposium
Join API, fellow ranchers for one of the best educational programs available in the beef industry.
Cattlemen will gather at the Mitchell Event Center located on the Scotts Bluff County Fairgrounds, Mitchell, Neb., Nov. 29-Dec. 1 for the 2011 Range Beef Cow Symposium. The biennial symposium has a reputation of being an excellent educational program, offering practical production management information since the first symposium in Chadron, Neb., in 1969. Angus Productions Inc. (API) will be on hand to provide coverage during and after the meeting.
The symposium is sponsored by the Cooperative Extension Service and animal science departments of the University of Wyoming, South Dakota State University, Colorado State University and the University of Nebraska. The event rotates between Colorado, western Nebraska, western South Dakota and Wyoming. Focusing on beef production issues in the Western states, the symposium regularly attracts 800-1,200 attendees and more than 80 agribusiness booth vendors for the three-day event.
The Bull Pen Sessions, which this year will be at the Gering Civic Center, Gering, Neb., are one of the most popular aspects of the symposium. This is a time for attendees to have considerable discussion with the speakers and an opportunity to ask specific questions. The majority of symposium speakers on Tuesday and Wednesday will be present in the evening following their presentations.
Commercial displays representing many segments of the industry are an integral part of the symposium. Exhibitors will be present to discuss their products, plus information on newly released products will be available.
