Three-State Beef Conference Registration & Recap

By Mary Drewnoski and Connor Biehler

Two live, online sessions remain of the annual Three-State Beef Conference.  

The Three-State Beef Conference provides essential updates on cow-calf and stocker topics to beef cattle producers and industry stakeholders. With specialists from leading beef cattle land grant universities—University of Nebraska, University of Missouri, and Iowa State University—alongside insights from industry experts, the conference serves as a vital platform for knowledge exchange.

This year, our theme, "Reevaluating Today’s Management Practices for Future Success," underscores the importance of staying abreast of the latest advancements. We emphasize the need to reevaluate management practices in light of new information and technologies to enhance sustainability and profitability in beef production.
