Students attend checkoff-funded Texas Youth Cattle Conferences


Twenty students from across Texas attended the Texas Youth Cattle Conferences offered in the Panhandle and South Texas regions. Members of junior cattle breed associations, Texas 4-H Livestock Ambassadors program, and Texas FFA Association were selected to attend the conference through an application process.
“This is our first year to offer two separate conferences for students to see the entire beef industry first-hand, learn from industry experts and ultimately become advocates for the beef community,” said Ryan Moorhouse, chairman of the Texas Beef Council (TBC) board of directors. “The conferences offer a unique opportunity to engage the next generation of leaders in our industry.”
Each conference took students on a four-day journey of learning and experiencing the Texas beef community from pasture to plate. The destinations visited along the way were unique to the respective regions of the Lone Star State. Students visited ranches, food service distributors, processing plants, agricultural media outlets, and spent time in the classroom with collegiate professors.
Students will continue to impact the beef industry through group projects that focus on their passion within the beef community. Guided by TBC staff and an industry mentor, projects will be executed by the students in their schools and communities across the state. The projects will differ based on student interest and industry need.
