The program’s educational sessions will highlight virtual fencing technology, options for reducing woody encroachment in grasslands and the latest outlook for the cattle market.

The McCurrys, who run an Angus seedstock operation, will share about an exciting new project they have been working on with Halter, a virtual fencing company. Halter’s Connor Chesky and Cam Tew will join John to discuss how the McCurry family is using GPS-enabled collars on their cattle to manage pasture rotations and reduce labor in their intensive grazing program. Attendees also will have the opportunity to view a circle of Bermudagrass where this technology has been employed.

CattleFax Vice President of Industry Relations and Analysis Kevin Good will be on hand to provide a current cattle market outlook and discuss what the industry might look like over the next five, 10 and 20 years.
