Draft schedule:

This is an outside activity; please dress appropriately for the weather.
Lunch will be provided
The afternoon will take place at the ATC building where presentations will be given on an Altosid trial, heifer ultrasound, cattle supplementation, forage evaluation on bison pastures, an introduction to Nature’s Net Wrap and more.
