Feedlot Cattle Health Summits Scheduled for Scott City, KS, and Kearney, NE

Production Animal Consultation (PAC) will host two beef industry summits, allowing people from the beef industry to gather and exchange ideas. “Each year brings new challenges and opportunities to cattle feeders. We are excited to bring this program with excellent speakers to address cattle health while enjoying fellowship amongst leaders in our industry.” Dr. Jared Bourek, PAC veterinarian and summit co-chair.

The PAC Beef Summits will be held April 3, 2024, at the Scott County Community Building in Scott City, Kansas, and April 4, 2024, at the Holiday Inn in Kearney, Nebraska. The event features an exciting line-up of speakers and topics:

• Greg Penner, PhD, a ruminant nutrition physiologist from the University of Saskatchewan, will discuss maintaining rumen health on feedlot diets.
• AJ Tarpoff, DVM, MS (Scott City Summit), Kansas State University Beef Extension Veterinarian, or Jesse Fulton, MS (Kearney Summit), Nebraska Beef Quality Assurance Director, will give an update on the results of the 2022 National Beef Quality Audit.
• Walt Woodard, world champion team roper, will inspire mental toughness and teach attendees to develop and possess a positive mental attitude.
• PAC veterinarians and team will give a business and research update and discuss new data-driven tools for clients and feedlots.

“PAC’s acronym could stand for People and Cattle. These are our two most precious resources in our business. We decided to provide two summits this year to better accommodate our cattle feeders in the Nebraska and Kansas regions. We are excited to host this line up of speakers and learn new opportunities to manage cattle health,” said Dr. Kip Lukasiewicz, consulting veterinarian and PAC owner.
