The Texas Youth Cattle Conference is set for June 13-15 in San Antonio and South Texas regions. This conference is intended for youth who have a desire to increase their knowledge about Texas beef.
“The Texas Youth Cattle Conference will empower our young men and women with the knowledge and tools needed to become successful members and advocates of the beef community,” said Jason Beyer, a Texas Beef Council (TBC) board member and cattleman from Stephenville.
Conference participants will explore the beef sector by focusing on beef’s role in the food industry and in nutrition, as well as beef cattle science, management and marketing. Students will hear from industry experts and have the opportunity to learn through hands-on events throughout the conference.
A limited number of students will be accepted. The program, funded by the beef checkoff, is free of charge. Participants will only be responsible for their travel to and from San Antonio.
Applicants must be at least 16 years old as of January 2016 to apply. Applications are due March 4.
