Cattle producers who want to learn more about various segments of production, marketing and carcass value will want to attend the Cattlemen’s Boot Camp, Aug. 22-23 at the Texas A&M University Beef Center, College Station, Texas. The Cattlemen’s Boot Camp is a cooperative effort between Texas A&M, the American Angus Association and the Angus Foundation.
This is the ninth Cattlemen’s Boot Camp sponsored by the Association and Foundation. It is open to all cattle producers, but enrollment is limited, so producers should sign up in advance.
“The Cattlemen’s Boot Camps are designed to be interactive sessions that will benefit all cattle producers,” says Shelia Stannard, director of communications and events for the Association. “Boot Camp is a great refresher course for long-time producers and gives beginners an insight to the industry.”
Texas A&M professors and Association staff will present the program. Small groups will be formed to allow for more hands-on interaction.
The event will begin at 9 a.m., Friday, Aug. 22 at the Texas A&M Beef Center, and runs through noon on Saturday, Aug. 23. Following the Boot Camp, Association staff will offer an optional session about specific Association processes and procedures for any member who wants to participate.
Registration is just $75, which includes meals and materials for the Boot Camp. Enrollment is limited, so sign up today by contacting the Association for registration materials.
A block of rooms has been reserved at the Holiday Inn Express. Call 979-846-8700 by Aug. 1 to reserve a room at the negotiated rate. Be sure to ask for the Cattlemen’s Boot Camp or CBC block.
