The Colorado State University Department of Animal Sciences is proud to host the 28th Range Beef Cow Symposium, Dec. 13-14, 2023, at The Ranch in Loveland, Colo. A pre-symposium Beef Quality Assurance training will be provided on Tuesday, Dec. 12.

The biennial symposium, sponsored by the Cooperative Extension Service and animal science departments of Colorado State University, South Dakota State University, University of Nebraska and University of Wyoming, offers an exclusive program of practical production management information specific to the region’s cattle producers.

This year’s program will highlight a variety of industry speakers delivering valuable, cutting-edge information on beef cattle management strategies ranging from consumer drivers of sustainability to feeder calf marketing. Additionally, sessions will incorporate up-to-date information and data from nationally and internationally known speakers, including several producer panels focusing on hot topic issues and opportunities in the beef cattle industry.

An always-popular feature of the Range Beef Cow Symposium is the evening “Bull Pen Sessions.” Speakers will be present for questions and discussion about their topics, offering attendees an opportunity to acquire more in-depth and applied knowledge from presentations earlier in the program.

This program is made possible by our many sponsors. If you are interested in supporting the Range Beef Cow Symposium, please see our sponsor page.
