The planning committee for this program
considered the developing demand for Beef Quality Assurance Certification
and knowledge. This program is being offered to address those questions and
provides ranchers the opportunity to ask questions of experts in this field.
The trade show will be filled with vendors that represent cattle nutrition
and health, pasture management, cattle handling, large equipment, financial
institutions, crop insurance, real estate, Florida labeled beef, and many
more.
