This is the 52st year this educational program has been offered to cow-calf producers across the state, and continues to be the leading information, technology, and research outlet for Minnesota cow/calf producers.

The program will feature U of M Extension Veterinarian, Dr. Angie Varnum, DVM, U of M Animal Science alumni and current graduate student, Alisha Klemme and 4-time Wolf Creek Township, MN Man of the Year, Dr. Eric Mousel. Updates from the Minnesota State Cattlemen’s Association and the Minnesota Beef Council will also highlight the event.
