The Three-State Beef Conference provides beef cattle producers and others in the beef industry with a regular update on current cow-calf and stocker topics. Iowa State University Extension beef specialists Erika Lundy-Woolfolk and Chris Clark are Iowa organizers of the annual event and say the content is based on prior attendee feedback and current industry economic conditions.
The event is set for Jan. 14 to 16 at locations in Missouri, Iowa and Nebraska.

The first session of the 2025 conference will be held in Maryville, Missouri, at the Agricultural Learning Center, 22893 U.S. Highway 71, on Jan. 14, and the third session is on Jan. 16 at the Nebraska Cattlemen office, 4611 Cattle Drive, Lincoln, Nebraska.
