“Take advantage of every opportunity!” That was something of a mantra for me in college. If there was a conference to go to or an agriculture speaker on campus, I was probably there.

Know a college student who fits that mold or recognize yourself in that description?

    A look inside the global protein market and where the Certified Angus Beef ® brand fits.

    Learn what the ultimate beef consumer wants – beyond the pasture.

    An interactive carcass grading and fabrication session with corporate meat scientist, Dr. Phil Bass.
