The 2014 High Plains Nutrition & Management Roundtable will be hosted Aug. 28 at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln West Central Water Research Field Laboratory at Brule.
The theme is “Focus on Increasing Cow Herd Size and Beef Production.” Keynote speaker Tom Brink, founder and owner of Brink Consulting & Trading, will discuss “Creating Valuable Calves that Feedlots Really Want.”
The High Plains Nutrition & Management Roundtable is an annual meeting hosted by the local chapter of the American Registry of Professional Animal Scientists (ARPAS), which comprises beef industry professionals from Nebraska, Wyoming and Colorado who share a common interest in improving the beef industry through improved nutrition and management practices. Each year, the meeting is hosted in the tri-state area by professors from Colorado State University (CSU), University of Wyoming (UW), and University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL), along with industry professionals who want to share emerging technologies, peer-reviewed research, and ideas. The goal is to maintain an open dialogue between the academic, industry (or private sector), and producer segments who are in pursuit of making better beef for our consumers.
