As a young producer, having the opportunity to gather advice or gain insight from those who have “been there, done that” is priceless. That is a main reason I value industry events like the annual National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA) convention and Beef Improvement Federation research symposium. Those events serve as the professional intersections and watering holes of our industry. Opportunities to obtain knowledge and exchange ideologies occur during every luncheon, hallway crossing and shared cab ride.
