Registration is open for three Stockmanship & Stewardship regional events from the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association. 

During each event, producers can become BQA certified, network with fellow ranchers, participate in hands-on demonstrations, and learn cutting-edge operation techniques. 

The first event is planned for May 20-21 at Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, Virginia, the second June 16-18 in Leavenworth, Kansas, and the third August 12-13 at Auburn University in Auburn, Alabama. 

Stockmanship & Stewardship is a unique experience for cattle producers featuring low-stress cattle handling demonstrations, Beef Quality Assurance educational sessions, facility design sessions and industry updates. 

The program is sponsored by NCBA, Merck Animal Health, and the Beef Checkoff-funded National Beef Quality Assurance program.
