UW to host Range Beef Cow Symposium in Cheyenne

The 29th Range Beef Cow Symposium, an educational event for cattle producers in Wyoming and across the Intermountain West, will take place Monday, Nov. 10, through Tuesday, Nov. 11, in Cheyenne, Wyoming.

Hosted by the University of Wyoming, this year’s symposium will be held at the Event Center at Archer, located at 3801 Archer Parkway in Cheyenne. Programming begins at 8 a.m. on Monday and concludes at 5 p.m. Tuesday.

The biennial event, which highlights practical applications of new scientific and economic research, is sponsored by animal science programs and cooperative extension services at the University of Wyoming, Colorado State University, South Dakota State University and the University of Nebraska. 

“Since the first symposium in 1969, the goal of the Range Beef Cow Symposium has been to provide producers with timely, relevant and impactful programming,” says Shelby Rosasco, UW Extension beef specialist and assistant professor of animal science. “This year’s symposium looks to build on that tradition, incorporating traditional-style presentations that provide research-based information with opportunities for producer engagement.”
