Registration is now open to cattle producers for four events on the Stockmanship & Stewardship Regional Tour, with the next stop in Ames, Iowa. Events will also be hosted in Colorado, Kansas and Louisiana.

Stockmanship & Stewardship is a unique two-day educational experience featuring low-stress cattle handling demonstrations, Beef Quality Assurance (BQA) educational sessions, facility design sessions to fit your operation and industry updates. The program is sponsored by the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA), a contractor to the Beef Checkoff, Merck Animal Health, and the Beef Checkoff-funded National Beef Quality Assurance program.
The tour locations and dates are:

• Ames, Iowa, June 28-29,
• Fort Collins, Colo., August 9-10,
• Manhattan, Kan., September 20-21, and
• West Monroe, La., October 4-5.

The tour features events led by stockmanship experts Curt Pate, Ron Gill and Dean Fish. By attending a Stockmanship & Stewardship event, producers may also become BQA certified, network with fellow producers, be involved in hands-on demonstrations from the stockmanship experts and learn cutting-edge operation techniques.

“These events allow producers to network with one another and learn from industry experts about real world solutions to everyday problems they encounter on their operations,” says Chase DeCoite, the director of Beef Quality Assurance for NCBA.
