The conference planning committee extends an open invitation to interested businesses and organizations to be a sponsor of the conference and help make it a success. Each sponsorship level provides increasing benefits to the organization and opportunities to interact with leading beef producers in the region.

Audience

The conference attendance averages around 150. Approximately 2/3 of the attendees identify as cow/calf operators and 1/4 feedlot operators, and approximately 50% manage more than 160 acres of pasture and 100 cows. This is an audience you will want to get to know!
