Cattle Today
Over 6000 cattle producers from across the nation have descended on Nashville for the U.S. cattle industry’s largest meeting, the Cattle Industry Annual Convention and NCBA Trade Show. The convention is hosted by the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA), the Cattlemen’s Beef Board, American National CattleWomen, the National Cattlemen’s Foundation and Cattle-Fax.
Wednesday’s activities begin with Cattlemen’s College®, a full day of hands-on instruction and producer education. Sponsored by Pfizer Animal Health, this year’s session is the most comprehensive Cattlemen’s College® ever. It features 18 breakout workshops, on a wide range of topics including estate planning, low-stress cattle handling, conservation easements, the 2007 Farm Bill, calf weaning strategies and preconditioning, and improving genetics.
