Welcome

Welcome to Angus Production Inc.’s coverage of the 2009 Range Beef Cow Symposium XXI, which is being conducted Dec. 1-3 at the Casper Events Center, Casper, Wyo.

As the symposium gets under way, 800-900 cattlemen are expected to attend. The biennial event is sponsored by the Cooperative Extension Service and animal science departments of the University of Wyoming, South Dakota State University, Colorado State University and the University of Nebraska.

The symposium offers an excellent educational program, with informative sessions covering industry issues, production management insights and economic outlooks. More than 35 speakers will share their expertise during the day sessions Tuesday through Thursday morning.

Bull Pen Sessions hosted each evening are a core part of the symposium. These sessions provide opportunity for attendees to discuss topics ask questions of speakers one on one. The majority of speakers presenting Tuesday and Wednesday will be present in the evening following their presentations.

Commercial displays representing many segments of the industry are an integral part of the symposium. Exhibitors are present to discuss their products and premiere newly released products.

Visit the Newsroom during and after the conference to access the synopsis of each speaker's presentation along with the proceedings, PowerPoint and audio if available. Some items will be available by the conclusion of the first day's session; however, watch the site during the next couple of weeks as we continue to add information.

A schedule of the symposium and an archive of API coverage of the 2003, 2005 and 2007 events are also available.

Published proceedings for the event are available for $25 plus shipping and handling. For more information about the symposium contact Kelly Greenwald at 307-837-2000 or Steve Paisley at 307-760-1561. For more information or questions about this site, contact Shauna Hermel at 816-383-5270.
