The National Beef Cattle Evaluation Consortium has unveiled a captivating 'Brown Bagger' webinar series. Set to commence on October 11, 2023, at 12:00 pm, this online event promises to spotlight both current and prospective tools tailored to refine genetic selection decisions in beef cattle.
For those interested in topics such as trait development updates, leveraging sequence data, or moving from an abnormal calf scenario to genomic tests, this is an opportunity not to be missed. Each week brings forth a unique theme, ensuring comprehensive coverage of the subject.
Intending to reach a broad audience, the series targets university beef instructors, extension specialists at multiple levels, beef industry professionals, and breed association teams. In essence, anyone engaged with beef production systems stands to benefit immensely from this initiative.
Conveniently hosted via the Kansas State University ZOOM platform, participants can anticipate a seamless experience. Everything, from slides to audio, will be accessible through a standard web browser, although a call-in option exists for those preferring an audio stream.
Post-registration, attendees will be provided with all the essential details for connecting. Plus, with each segment lasting about an hour, it's designed to fit perfectly into your lunchtime routine.
For those who want to be a part of this enriching journey, registration is essential. It's simple; just click Here. But act fast, as slots are limited for the first 500 registrants.
Matt Spangler urges educators and breed association staff to share this initiative with others to enhance their skills in beef cattle genetic selection. This is a good opportunity for all.
