The 2023 Cattlemen’s Conference – Blueprint For The Future will be held in Stillwater on May 24th and 25th. The program will address a variety of topics that are challenging the beef industry and promises to be informative, exciting and timely. We have assembled a dynamic group of speakers for this conference. We will be covering topics relevant to all beef industry segments, consumers, commercial operations and purebred breeders alike. Our objective is to provide information, stimulate thought and conversation, and quite literally offer a “Blueprint For The Future.” This conference will meet in-person with a schedule full of nationally renowned speakers and panel discussions.
Topics covered will include:
Land stewardship for improved soil health and surviving drought
Information about the end product from the National Beef Audit
Trends in beef products and consumer demand
Effectiveness of selection indices
Impact of genomics and phenotypic data on the prediction of genetic values
Selection for extremes (muscling, marbling, body depth and late day morbidity)
Ethics in the showring and in marketing
Report from competing protein sources
How consumer and economic trends will influence the beef industry in the future
Emerging trends and the market outlook
Keynote speaker Dr. Frank Mitloehner the “greenhouse gas guru”
