Conference. In partnership with the Nebraska Beef Quality Assurance Program, the event serves as an interactive and educational experience designed to empower women involved in livestock production. The conference features a variety of engaging activities, including tours of innovative livestock operations, hands-on workshops and live demonstrations, all aimed at providing participants with practical skills and knowledge that can be directly applied to their operations. Attendees have the opportunity to learn from industry experts, network with other livestock producers and explore new technologies and best practices in livestock care, management and sustainability. Although the dates for the 2025 conference are yet to be determined, the event continues to be a highly anticipated gathering for women in the livestock sector, offering valuable insights and fostering a supportive community for those in the industry.
