INDIANAPOLIS – The Indiana Beef Cattle Association (IBCA), in cooperation with Purdue University and Purdue Extension, has set the dates and locations for its 10 area beef meetings.

These meetings are open to all beef producers and will dot the Indiana landscape from mid-December 2021 to mid-January 2022. The meetings feature great food and valuable information on policies and programs. IBCA will provide updates on state and national beef issues while Purdue Extension will share educational presentations on a variety of subjects related to beef production.

“After a year when we were not able to hold face to face meetings, I am excited about being able to hear from our members firsthand about their current status and their outlook for future opportunities within the beef industry,” said Joe Moore, IBCA’s executive vice president.
