The Minnesota Beef Expo provides a unique opportunity for cattlemen and cattlewomen to come together and exchange ideas.  Past years have brought gentlemen like Dr. Cliff Lamb, Dr. Alfredo DiCostanzo, Dr. Dee Griffin and Dr. William Schmutz to the Expo to demonstrate emerging reproductive bio-technologies, emerging issues in beef quality assurance, mineral and trace mineral feeding or provide information on the feed basics of cow nutrition. 

This year’s seminar:

EXTREME Make-Over: Beef Expo Style!  Sponsored by the MN Soybean Research & Promotion Council.  Team work and enhancing show ring performance of groomed cattle is the goal of this fun and interactive event at the 2008 MN Beef Expo. Teams made up of 4 youth will have the opportunity to groom a heifer or steer for the show ring, demonstrate team work and beef industry knowledge and compete for the coveted award as the “2008 Beef Expo Extreme Makeover Champion”. Teams will be judged on the ability to fit the animal, organization of the Team members, participation of each member, beef industry knowledge and overall effectiveness of grooming. Start organizing your Extreme Makeover Teams today.  Hosted by the U of M Beef Team.
