The Minnesota State Cattlemen’s Association (MSCA) is hosting the Minnesota Cattle Industry Convention at the River’s Edge Convention Center in St. Cloud on Dec. 6-7. This year’s theme is “Stronger Together.”
“We are stronger as one unified voice, and cattle producers across the state need to work together and put aside our differences to accomplish common goals,” says MSCA President Jake Thompson. “The convention theme is based off this idea of teamwork within the beef industry.”
Join the MSCA leaders during the Policy and Resolutions Meeting on Thursday, Dec. 5, from 2-6 p.m. at the convention center in the Wilson Suite. This is where crucial policy decisions are made which will guide the MSCA through their decision-making process throughout the year. During this meeting, resolutions are brought forward to the MSCA from local cattlemen’s associations throughout Minnesota. This policy process is grassroots in action.
The convention itself kicks off Friday morning with registration opening at 8 a.m. You won’t want to miss Friday and Saturday’s educational topics, including Right Way, Right Time – Cull Cow Management; Return of Investment on Your Checkoff Dollar; Sustainable Opportunities in the Beef Supply Chain; Adding Value to Your Operation Through Hay Testing; Minnesota Policy Update; and more.
Bring the whole family along for the “Best of Beef Banquet” Friday night featuring a beef dinner, live auction and comic/magician entertainment by Jared Sherlock. The night is sure to be one for the books, and you just might end up with some neat treasures off the auction.
Convention rounds off with Minnestoa CattleWomen and MSCA meetings Saturday morning.
