Featured speaker will be Dr. Tom Noffsinger, Benkelman, Neb., a noted feedyard health consultant specializing in interactions between cattle and their caretakers. The program will begin at 2 p.m. in the auditorium at the UNL Panhandle Research and Extension Center, Scottsbluff. There is no fee. Attendees are asked to call the Scottsbluff County Extension Office at 308-632-1480 with the number of staff who will attend to allow for an accurate meal count. Dinner will be provided.
