WSU/UI BEEF 300 is a three-day, hands-on workshop designed for progressive individuals involved with the beef cattle industry. The course will focus on teaching producers, feeders, and marketers (regardless of the size or type of operation) how to produce and market quality cattle and beef products. Participants will learn how environmental, nutritional, genetic, and managerial factors contribute to meat quality. Participants will also learn how meat quality factors influence the price producers receive for cattle and beef products marketed through various outlets. This program will increase one's understanding of beef quality and marketing, enabling participants to make informed decisions to improve profitability, competitiveness, and wholesomeness of the food products they are producing. The course will feature nationally recognized speakers in the area of cattle production, feeding, processing, and marketing.
