The Montana Stockgrowers Foundation will send one Montana delegate to this year’s Young Cattlemen’s Conference, held May 30 – June 7, 2018. Applications, due March 15, are available at mtbeef.org .
The Young Cattlemen’s Conference is an opportunity for cattlemen and cattlewomen between the ages of 25 and 50 to visit segments of the beef industry in other parts of our nation with young ranchers from other states. Facilitated by the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association , participants will travel with national attendees to Denver, Chicago and Washington D.C., visiting OSI Inc, McDonald’s Global Headquarters and Capitol Hill.
The primary objective is to develop leadership qualities in young cattlewomen and cattlemen and expose them to all aspects of the beef industry. The tour helps these young leaders understand all areas of our industry ranging from industry structure to issues management, from production research to marketing.
The Montana Stockgrowers Foundation will ensure funding for one participant for the full cost of the tour along with travel expenses. Remaining expenses are the responsibility of the participant, who will be chosen from those who apply. Participants must be a member of Montana Stockgrowers Association and National Cattlemen’s Beef Association.
