The Master Beef Producer program uses a combination of hands-on and classroom teaching to educate participants about all aspects of beef production. The program is designed for first time producers all the way to the seasoned veterans. Classes start at 5:30 pm unless noted.
Participants can sign up at any time as hands-on classes are offered year-round. Virtual classes are only offered in the fall. The cost of the program is $100 and certification is good for three years.
