Reproduction Strategies in Beef Cattle

LiveAuction.tv and Angus Productions Inc. will provide live video stream, post-event coverage of Dec. 3-4 symposium.

Cattlemen will gather Dec. 3-4 at The Ramkota Hotel and Conference Center in Sioux Falls, S.D., to focus on how cattle producers can utilize advancing technologies to improve herd reproductive efficiencies, profitability and the end product — beef. The 2012 Applied Reproductive Strategies in Beef Cattle (ARSBC) program is sponsored by the Beef Reproductive Task Force, South Dakota State University (SDSU) and iGrow in cooperation with the University of Missouri Conference Office.

“This is a tremendous opportunity to hear 27 speakers from across the U.S. and Canada discuss topics including how to profit from implementing these technologies, and the latest research in the fields of reproduction, nutrition and genetics,” said event coordinator, George Perry, associate professor and SDSU Extension beef reproduction specialist.

This program is geared to veterinarians and producers. All speakers have been charged with addressing how to implement what is discussed within your cattle operation.

Angus Productions Inc. (API) and LiveAuctions.tv will provide live streaming video from the conference for those who can’t attend in person. You can access the video stream during the program. Presentations are scheduled Monday 8:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. and 2-7 p.m. CST and Tuesday 8:30 a.m.-noon and 1:15-5 p.m. CST. Visit the website for a detailed schedule.
