The U.S. Department of Agriculture will host an in-person educational event for cattle producers and interested stakeholders at the USDA Cattle and Carcass Training Center at West Texas A&M University in Canyon, Texas, on Dec. 14, 2023. While anyone can attend the event, it is targeted to producers, feeders and other stakeholders who want a better understanding of factors that contribute to the market value of cattle and how these factors can inform marketing and production decisions.
The event will focus on feeder cattle grading and evaluation, USDA Market News’ feeder cattle data visualization tool and dissemination, and emerging technology in the cattle industry. Attendees will hear from USDA and industry experts and participate in live cattle demonstrations.
