It looks like the Angus Boot Camp is entirely conducted by current by Univertiy staff
If so I will request for a refund from the boot camp

Hay Feeder-
I'm sorry to hear that you are disappointed with the program for the boot camp. Ashley Mitchell is the contact person for the registration.

Just to clarify, Tonya Amen from the American Angus Association will be presenting and a member of the CAB staff will be presenting. Wes Tiemann from the Angus Association will also be in attendance and would be happy to answer any questions you may have.

Just out of curiosity, who would you like to have seen as presenters and what topics would you like to have covered that will not be?

Thanks for the feedback.
Jared Decker

Feel free to call me or email me if you would like to discuss this in more detail. http://web.missouri.edu/~deckerje/contact.html

A Steak in Genomics: Bruce Golden gave a great talk about economically relevant traits (ERTs) in the beef industry. Golden really challenged the ways breed associations, seedstock providers, and commercial producers report and use EPDs. Be sure to read this post and leave your comments.

How many of you have heard about the new research into the environmental impact of cattle? How many of you have heard about the new documentary "Cowspiracy"? I discuss in my new blog post.

The original version of this post contained several inaccuracies. Feed efficiency data will not be included in $B and $F until December 2014. The base year for heifer pregnancy is 2005, not 2006. Sorry for any confusion.

is the nbcec webpage being kept up todate? I see no mention of the 2014 brown bagger series or the 3014 conference.
