Range Beef Cow Symposium December 13-14, 2023

By Karla Wilke

This year Colorado State University will be hosting the RBCS at the Ranch in Loveland, CO.

The RBCS has been held every other year since 1969 and is hosted by South Dakota State University, Colorado State University, University of Wyoming, and University of Nebraska beef cattle extension.

The RBCS is a great place not only to hear the latest updates on topics of interest to the beef industry, but is also a great place to network with producers, industry leaders, and the vendors who make it happen.

This year’s agenda has some great topics and speakers including Marketing Feeder Calves with Darrell Peel, the newest research in Vitamin A requirements for the cowherd with Mary Drewnoski, panel discussions including topics like wolf reintroduction, and much more.

The vendors have always made this symposium possible and affordable for producers. Many vendors selling products and services will be available to visit with conference participants. There will be a wide range of industry professionals there to visit with producers about animal health products, feed, equipment, genetics, finances, products, and more.
