Time is running out to get the early bird rate for the Drovers Cow-Calf Cowboy College in Des Moines, Iowa. Make sure you register by May 23 to save some money on this valuable learning opportunity taking place June 20-21.

We have a great lineup of speakers who will be discussing topics important to cow-calf producers. Areas of interest to cattlemen and women that will be addressed include: antibiotic use, vaccination programs, genetics, nutrition and biosecurity.

Speaking at Cowboy College will be:

  • Dan Thomson, DVM, Ph.D., Kansas State University
  • Mike Apley, DVM, Ph.D., DACVCP, Kansas State University
  • Tom Noffsinger, DVM
  • Dr. Chris Reinhardt, Kansas State University
  • Dave Nichols, Nichols Farms

Last year close to 150 producers from throughout the U.S. attended our event in Denver. Make sure you’re one of them in Des Moines by registering here or call 877-482-7203. 

Again, early registration ends on May 23 and the event will be held at the Sheraton West Des Moines. You can still register for the full rate after May 23 all the way up to Cowboy College on June 20-21. Walk-in registration is accepted the day of Cowboy College, too.
