The 2015 Texas A&M Beef Cattle Short Course is set for Aug. 3 in College Station, according to AgriLife Today.
“Beef export markets have been a major driver of the exceptional cattle prices that ranchers have been receiving the past few years,” said Dr. Jason Cleere, Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service beef cattle specialist and conference coordinator. “Attendees will get a broad-view look at some of the issues affecting our beef export markets as well as how important these transactions are to the overall beef economy.”
The short course is the premier beef educational event in Texas, featuring 20 sessions covering basic practices, new technologies and other important industry topics. These sessions provide participants with an opportunity to choose workshops based on their level of production experience and the needs of their ranch.
Registration is $180 per person before July 30 or $220 afterwards. Educational materials, a copy of the 600-page Beef Cattle Short Course proceedings and admission to the trade show and the prime rib dinner is included.
