Introducing The Stockman’s Summit: Elevating Ranch Management for All Breeds
BRC proudly announces the rebranding of our annual educational workshop from Brahman Days to The Stockman’s Summit. This transformation reflects the growing interest and importance of environmentally and heat-adapted breeds across the cattle industry. As we see more ranchers recognizing the value of these traits, our reach at BRC has extended beyond Brahman breeders to encompass ranchers of all breeds who understand the significance of crossbreeding and registered breeds.
This year’s workshop will be held October 18, 2024 at Boling, Texas and will be complimentary to attend thanks to our generous corporate sponsors. Registration is open now.
