\u00a0\u00a0 The prime rib will be in the smokers and the participants will be there in person to eat them at the 67th annual \u00a0Texas A&M Beef Cattle Short Course<\/a>\u00a0on Aug. 2-4. The event is hosted by\u00a0Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service<\/a>\u00a0and the\u00a0College of Agriculture and Life Sciences<\/a>\u2019\u00a0Department of Animal Science<\/a>\u00a0at Texas A&M University.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cWe are excited to invite everyone back to the Texas A&M campus to join us for this year\u2019s event,\u201d said Jason Cleere, Ph.D., conference coordinator and AgriLife Extension\u00a0beef cattle specialist in the\u00a0Department of Animal Science. \u201cNot only are we going to be able to serve up our traditional Texas Aggie Prime Rib Dinner, but we\u2019ll be offering all our live demonstrations for participants for all to see.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 Cleere said this is the largest beef education event in the U.S. and is steeped in tradition. The three days will include more than 20 sessions covering basic practices, new technologies and hot topics. There also will be six live demonstrations and a trade show featuring an estimated 140 exhibitors.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 More than 2,000 ranchers, beef industry representatives and exhibitors are expected to gather on the Texas A&M University campus once again after COVID-19 forced last year\u2019s event to be virtual. However, Cleere said, they will carry over some features of last year\u2019s virtual conference, allowing those who can\u2019t attend to log in from their ranches around the world.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 The cost is $210 for in-person attendance and $160 for online. The prices go up to $250 and $200, respectively, after July 27. To register, go to\u00a0www.beefcattleshortcourse.com<\/a>\u00a0or call 979-845-6931 for more information.<\/p>\n

On the agenda<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cWe try to bring our attendees that cutting-edge information, give producers some heads-up on potential issues,\u201d Cleere said.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 The Market Outlook and Weather Outlook presentations are always a big draw, he said. Additionally, speakers will be addressing various challenges or hot issues such as land values and increasing urban sprawl.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 Educational sessions will address forage and beef cattle management, health, nutrition and reproduction, record-keeping, genetics, purebred cattle and more. Demonstrations will cover live cattle handling, chute-side calf working, brush management, tractor safety and beef carcass value determination.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cWe want to help producers focus on efficiencies in their operation,\u201d Cleere said. \u201cMany expenses are going through the roof, so they need to focus on where to invest and where to possibly cut some corners. That will be highlighted throughout the short course.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 With proper management, there is a little bit of light at the end of the tunnel for beef cattle operators, he said.<\/p>\n
