The University of Minnesota Beef Team is proud to host the annual Cow/ Calf Days Seminar Tour and Trade Show at 10 locations across the state in January (northern tour) and February (southern tour). This is the 51st year this educational program has been offered to cowcalf producers across the state, and continues to be the leading information, technology, and research outlet for Minnesota cow/ calf producers.
The Pipestone Cow/ Calf Day program will be held on Wednesday, February 7, 2024 at the MN West Community & Technical College, Room 103. The address is 1314 N Hiawatha Avenue, Pipestone. The program will begin at 9:30 am and conclude around 1:30 pm.
