2025 Stockmanship & Stewardship Registration is Open

Registration is open for three Stockmanship & Stewardship Events taking place this summer. Stockmanship & Stewardship is an educational experience for cattle producers, featuring low-stress cattle handling demonstrations, Beef Quality Assurance educational sessions, facility design sessions, and industry updates. The events take place in Watertown, South Dakota, June 26-28; Canyon, Texas, August 13-14; and September 4-6 in Springfield, Missouri. During each event, producers can get BQA certified, network with other cattle producers, participate in hands-on demonstrations led by industry experts, and learn innovative handling techniques. Topics like biosecurity and the Secure Beef Supply will be among several subjects covered during the event, with the Texas program feedyard-focused and available in Spanish. NCBA CEO Collin Woodall will be the keynote speaker at all three events. “Cattle handling and stockmanship are core components of BQA,” says Dr. Ron Gill, Texas AgriLife extension specialist. “Animal handling and care directly connect to farm profitability.”
