About
The Idaho Young Cattle Producers Conference is a direct result of a desire by the beef cattle industry in Idaho to provide an in-depth training opportunity for beginning cattle producers in the state. This conference is a partnership with the Idaho Cattle Association, University of Idaho College of Agricultural and Life Sciences and University of Idaho Extension. The program was put together by a conference planning committee made up of representatives from the beef cattle industry, allied industry and University of Idaho Extension.
