The Iowa Cattlemen’s Association (ICA) invites local producers to join them next week for an educational program on market outlooks and best practice implementation. On Feb. 7 in Guthrie Center at the Community Building on the county fairgrounds, Dr. Lee Schulz, an Iowa State University (ISU) economist, will provide attendees with a Cattle Market Outlook, and Randie Culbertson, an ISU cow-calf specialist, will discuss the latest in production techniques. The program begins at 5 p.m. and includes a meal, educational sessions, a trade show, and an industry update from the Iowa Cattleman’s Association and Iowa Beef Industry Council. There is no cost to attend for ICA members, and there is a $20 registration fee for non-members. For more information or to RSVP, contact the Iowa Cattleman’s Association by calling 515-296-2266. Two other programs are scheduled in February. One in Cascade on Feb. 8 and another in Royal on Feb. 23.
