Mark Johnson, Oklahoma State University Extension Beef Cattle Breeding Specialist, offers herd health advice as part of the weekly series known as the “Cow Calf Corner,” published electronically by Dr. Peel, Mark Johnson, and Paul Beck. Today, Johnson talks about Cattlemen’s Conference coming up in May.
Oklahoma State University will host the Cattlemen’s Conference – Blueprint For The Future – Part 2 at the Totusek Arena on May 22-23, 2024. The conference will provide an educational opportunity for those interested in making use of new ideas, research findings and opportunities to progressively manage their beef cattle business. The beef industry is as complex, dynamic and ever-changing as any industry in the world. Staying informed about topics like gene editing, land stewardship and the impact that your selection and mating decisions have on profit potential, enteric methane emissions and the carbon footprint of beef production is essential. Management decisions impacting the viability of your operation should be based on the most current information, scientific evidence and emerging trends that will shape the future of the beef industry.
Industry leaders from across the nation will address these topics in several panel discussions over the course of the conference. This format facilitates questions and discussion with those in attendance. A CAB steak dinner will be served at the banquet held on Wednesday evening of the conference at the Wes Watkins Center on the OSU campus. There will be a trade show at the Totusek Arena and a drawing for door prizes after the final conference session. The conference is a joint venture between OSU Cooperative Extension, the Cattlemen’s Congress and the Noble Research Institute. The American Angus Association and American Hereford Association are sponsors of this event.
