Production Animal Consultation (PAC), a cattle consulting group serving food animal producers all over the globe, and Midwest PMS, which provides supplements, commodities and nutritional consulting services, are excited to announce a new series of workshop training events taking place in Kansas and Nebraska during the month of February. The firms recently released the schedule of events for the afternoon and evening workshops, designed to help feedyard managers and employees improve their knowledge and skills.

“This event will be unique in the sense that participants will be exposed to not only technical information, but to presenters with real-world experience that will be relatable to the people attending,” said Quint Finney, Midwest PMS. “Participants will be exposed to information and methodologies that can be put to use right away.”

Seminars have been scheduled for Feb. 11 and 18 in Kearney, Nebraska, as well as Feb. 12 and 19 in Garden City, Kansas. Topics being covered will vary depending on the date, but all are designed to give guests a well-rounded picture of what it takes to run an efficient feedyard operation.

“We all continue to grow and learn on beef production, but do you find yourself struggling most with people challenges? We want to help you with your people challenges too,” said Dr. Nels Lindberg, PAC consultant and veterinarian. “We’ve designed these tracks to cater to all levels of management, so we encourage feedyards to bring multiple members so they can split up and take in all the available sessions.”

Workshop topics Include:
